MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Bacchus

🖼 Bacchus, 1497
Marble, height 203 cm
Florence, Italy

Marble captures a languid youth swaying slightly, grapes and wine cup defining his intoxicated state. Michelangelo's sensual treatment of the male form challenged Renaissance ideals, blending classical beauty with psychological vulnerability in this revolutionary sculpture.
