The Uffizi Gallery's own page for the painting it holds and has custody of. Its strength is that it is the custodian's own account: exact provenance, the 1608 donation from Cardinal del Monte to Ferdinando I de' Medici on the occasion of Cosimo II's wedding, and a named art historian's reading of the work's Bacchic religious content. Its limit is that a custodian's own page is not independent peer reviewed criticism, so it is cited here for provenance and for the quoted scholarly reading rather than as a neutral outside assessment.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
1
The Uffizi Gallery's own page for its painting Bacchus by Caravaggio is the custodian's own account, authoritative for exact provenance including the 1608 donation from Cardinal del Monte, treated at the top tier as that primary institutional record, notwithstanding that it is not independent peer reviewed criticism.
Notes
Read directly during research. Cited for the 1608 donation provenance and for art historian Mina Gregori's reading, quoted on the page, of the painting as referencing the Bacchic customs and initiation rites practised in Rome.
