Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 21.7 × 19 in print therefore arrives as 24 × 21.4 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 47.2 × 41.5 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Caravaggio's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 95 × 85 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence, Italy. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Caravaggio's "Bacchus," c. 1597, is a sensuous triumph, a visual ode to the hedonistic delights of classical antiquity. The young god of wine and revelry reclines, almost provocatively, in a sumptuous arrangement that teeters between the realms of the sacred and the profane. Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro is masterful, drenching Bacchus in a soft, almost tangible light that accentuates the luminous quality of his flesh. This light contrasts dramatically with the dark, ambiguous background, creating an intimate yet mysterious atmosphere.

Bacchus himself is a study in androgyny and ambivalence. Draped in a loosely arranged white toga, his bare chest exposed, he exudes a languid sensuality. His cheeks are flushed, his eyes half-closed in a state of relaxed intoxication. A garland of leaves and grapes crowns his curly hair, reinforcing his identity while adding an element of rustic charm. The still life before him, a cornucopia of ripe fruits and a carafe of deep red wine, is depicted with such meticulous attention to detail that you can almost taste the succulent grapes and feel the texture of the leaves.

Caravaggio’s Bacchus extends an inviting hand, offering a glass of wine. This gesture is both an invitation and a challenge, a beckoning to indulge in earthly pleasures while simultaneously contemplating their fleeting nature. The sheer physicality of the composition, combined with the psychological depth of Bacchus' expression, makes this painting a timeless exploration of human desire and the ephemeral joys of life. It’s Caravaggio at his most provocative, inviting viewers into a world where divine ecstasy and mortal indulgence are inseparably intertwined.
