Bacchus, Satyr and a Faun, Inventory No. 10528, Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp

Bacchus, Satyr and a Faun (Inventory No. 10528) is a work by Peter Paul Rubens that depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, supported by a satyr and a faun.

This piece is characteristic of Rubens' Baroque style, which often celebrated themes of indulgence, revelry, and the interaction between humans and mythological figures. Bacchus is traditionally associated with the pleasures of the senses, and Rubens' portrayal typically emphasizes sensuality, exuberance, and the vitality of nature.
