Drinking Bacchus is a 1622 oil by Guido Reni, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting shows a chubby, naked baby sitting on the ground. The baby has a wreath of leaves and grapes on his head. He is holding a large glass of red wine to his mouth. The baby is sitting in front of a large, empty bowl and a smaller, full bowl. There are grapevines behind him. The background is a blue sky with some white clouds. The baby seems to be enjoying his wine. If you want to learn more about the artist who painted this, look up Guido Reni.
Guido Reni was an Italian Baroque painter, although his works showed a classical manner, similar to Simon Vouet, Nicolas Poussin, and Philippe de Champaigne.
