PART II

1518–1530

Look at the ‘Bacchanals’ in Madrid, or at the ‘Bacchus and Ariadne’ in the National Gallery. How brim-full they are of exuberant joy! You see no sign of a struggle of inner and outer conditions, but life so free so strong, so glowing, that it almost intoxicates. They are truly Dionysiac, Bacchanalian triumphs – the triumph of life over the ghosts that love the gloom and chill and hate the sun.

BERNARD BERENSON, ITALIAN PAINTERS OF THE RENAISSANCE, 1938
