Bacchus, by Michelangelo Merisi, known as Caravaggio (Milano 1571 - Porto Ercole 1610) , Florence, Italy. ( His depiction of the basket of fruit and the cup of wine proffered by the god is surprising, with such elements interpreted by some critics as a Horatian invitation to frugality, conviviality and friendship. )
