Titian's Bacchanal portrays a jovial uninhibited celebration
in nature. The characters depicted are drinking, dancing,
and courting one other. This is perhaps a reflection of
how the society of the High Renaissance behaved.
Despite the carefree nature the painting exhibits, there
is absolutely no lack of care for details, human form, color,
and dimensions on Titian's part.
