Bacchus is the god of intoxication, sensual pleasures, fertility, and inspiration. His retinue is animated by satyrs and maenads whose activities are associated with dance, love, and music. The allegory of music is also frequently associated with love, sensuality, and wine. Since Antiquity, this dual mythical and symbolic inspiration has been at the heart of countless plastic and visual works, as well as utilitarian objects with festive decor, musical or choreographic works, and musical instruments. Throughout the ages, celebrations, banquets, and taverns have associated wine and music in all circles, whether princely, bourgeois, or popular. From grand palace decors to cabinet paintings or imagery, from court ballets to opera, from drinking songs to dance tunes, evocations of wine and music are omnipresent in renewed forms from the Renaissance to the end of the 19th century...
