The Bacchanal of the Andrians

An island where the river ran with wine.

What

The people of Andros, whose island river Bacchus turned to wine, drink, dance and sleep through a golden afternoon.

Why

Titian painted it for Alfonso d’Este’s private study in Ferrara; in 1638 it passed to Philip IV, and it has belonged to the Spanish royal collection since.

Notice

The sheet of music in the foreground carries a French canon: whoever drinks and does not drink again does not know what drinking is.

“A royal picture with one rule for the cellar: pour again.”
