Bacchante with an Ape

A follower of Bacchus, turning to the room.

What

A bacchante, shoulder bare, with grapes and a wine vessel, and an ape at her side.

Why

Ter Brugghen carried Caravaggio’s light home from Rome to Utrecht and turned it on the pleasures of the table.

Notice

The light on her shoulder, the Roman manner arriving in the Dutch Republic.

“Wine makes everyone a little more animal, and she knows it.”
