Description:
|
|
Caravaggio's training was strongly influenced by Venetian and Lombard painting: from the first, he learned the use of the color, from the second, he learned the deep realism and the preference for humble and popular subjects. This last feature is observable in the Bacchus, commissioned by his patron Cardinal del Monte as a gift for the Grand Duke of Tuscany Ferdinand I and painted between 1596 and 1598. Bacchus is depicted posing and holding a cup of wine with his left hand, as if he was reflected in a mirror; it is known that Caravaggio employed mirrors (or perhaps some form of camera lucida) when painting. The painting was only rediscovered in storage at the Uffizi in 1913. (Source: Uffizi Gallery [website]; http://www.uffizi.or g/)
