Bacchus is a 1903 by Henri Fantin-Latour, depicting Dancing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a red hat, sitting alone with a wine glass. His face is half in shadow. The background is dark and plain. Fantin-Latour painted this in 1903, late in his life. It’s not a big myth scene like most Bacchus pictures. He focused on a quiet, human moment instead. He often painted flowers or quiet scenes. See the difference from his usual work? Look up Henri Fantin-Latour (French, 1836–1904).
Ignace Henri Jean Theodore Fantin-Latour (French pronunciation: ; 14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
