Bacchanale is a 1725 oil by Alessandro Magnasco, a Rococo painting work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting shows a wild party scene with people dancing and playing music. They're all around a big stone structure with columns and statues. The sky is blue with clouds. The people in the painting are wearing old-fashioned clothes and some are naked. They seem to be having a lot of fun. There are also some animals in the scene, like a horse and a goat.
