Michelangelo Bacchus Statue

1.Introduction of michelangelo bacchus statue

This michelangelo bacchus statue is a marble statue created by Michelangelo, Bacchus, the god of wine. The statue depicts Bacchus walking drunk: Bacchus, the god of wine with grapes in his hair, looks forward with his eyes scattered, and holds the ancient Greek classic wine glass in his right hand elegantly, with his mouth slightly open, as if he was flirting with others, as if he wanted to taste sweet liquid again. The body full of the beauty of man’s body leans forward slightly, with light feet, as if it will fall out of the base rock in the next second.

Behind the Dionysus is Satyr, the spirit of the mountain forest and the wilderness, who is indulging in drinking in Greek mythology. He is smiling and eating a bunch of grapes held in his left hand. His right hand is tearing off the animal skin that should have been wrapped on the Dionysus, making the Dionysus lose the cover and naked in front of people. In my opinion, the upright and frank Bacchus forms a sharp contrast with the sneaky Satyr curled up behind him, as if to tell people that no matter how perfect a person looks, there will be a Satyr spirit hidden behind him. Under the influence of alcohol, the spirit will come into being. Although human beings are constantly struggling in the restraint of reason and the audacity of sensibility, finally, the most essential aspect of  human nature will be exposed in the drunkenness.
