"The Adolescent Bacchus" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Caravaggio, also known as Michelangelo Merisi. Created around 1593-1594, it depicts a young man, possibly a self-portrait of the artist, holding a goblet of wine and wearing a wreath of vine leaves on his head, a symbol of the Roman god of wine, Bacchus.

The painting is notable for its realism and naturalism, typical of Caravaggio's style. The young man is depicted with an almost photographic accuracy, with details such as the individual strands of his curly hair and the reflections in the goblet of wine carefully rendered.

The painting is also notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast of light and dark, which became a signature element of Caravaggio's style. The figure is illuminated by a single source of light, which casts deep shadows and highlights the contours of the face and body.

The painting was controversial when it was created, as it depicted a pagan subject in a time when the Catholic Church was cracking down on such works. The painting was seized by Cardinal Del Monte, who was a patron of Caravaggio, but eventually made its way to the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it can still be seen today.
