I think Bacchus is by Francesco Melzi. How is it Francesco's, do you say? compare the noses of Leonardo's St. John the Baptist to this piece. Then look at any picture from Francesco. Notice how Francesco's noses look more like the one in this piece? - Ёřųрţǐŏη257

All of the art history books in existence seem to collaborate on the idea that this was Da Vinci's last piece. Many artists at the time had radical pieces of art at the end of their carreers. This painting seems to follow that principle.

You're thinking of St. John the Baptist. THAT was Leonardo's "radical piece". Ëŕüρţìöň257

That is indeed his right hand... not his left. Edit made accordingly. Moosa17 19:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

"Theory" Section

The theory section should have some sort of citation added that shows exactly _whose_ theory this is and possibly how well recepted this theory is by other reknown art historians. Nortonew 15:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

John the Baptist

Anyone know why this painting is called "Bacchus" if it is supposedly a painting of John the Baptist? Nortonew 15:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
