Triumph of Bacchus

Georg Pencz

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white depiction of a procession. A central figure rides in a decorated chariot pulled by two horses. The chariot's passenger and driver both wear floral crowns, with the driver holding reins and the passenger holding a vase with flowers. Two centaurs precede the chariot, one playing a wind instrument and the other whipping the horses. The centaurs are nude. A man and a centaur follow the chariot; the man carries a large vase and the centaur plays a wind instrument. A man wearing a tunic and a hat leads the procession, holding an object with a cloth on it. Four nude men appear throughout the procession, two carry a vase, one holds a bow and arrow, and one holds flowers. The background is shaded.
