← The Gods of the Vine

The Triumph of Bacchus (Los Borrachos)

The vine crowns whoever shows up.

What

The god crowning a kneeling drinker while the workingmen of Spain grin at us over their bowls.

Why

Velázquez set Olympus down at a laborers’ table — the most democratic wine painting ever made for a king.

Notice

The grins are aimed at you; the myth is aimed at the court. Both land.

“The vine crowns whoever shows up.”
