Landscape with the Education of Bacchus, 1744. Additional Info: Accompanied by the young satyrs and nymphs with whom he grew up, the young god Bacchus rides in on a goat, probably alluding to his origins as a fertility god worshipped as a bull or a goat. Bacchuss plump, old teacher Silenos looks on from the hill while mature nymphs and a satyr dance in the background. Despite Bacchuss identity as the god of wine, no one drinks wine in this picture.
