The Triumph of Bacchus

The god’s chariot rolls, and the procession runs ahead of it.

What

Bacchus rides a golden chariot at the left while his followers dance and pull it forward under a sky where a god drives the sun.

Why

Painted in 1635, now in The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City.

Notice

The river god lounges in the bottom corner, the one figure the procession does not move.

“A triumph is a parade that knows where it is going.”
