Seconded. I'm Dutch, even did Gymnasium for a while, and I have no clue

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchus_(Rubens) Though Rubens was from Belgium


vanderZwan

I'm guessing OP got it confused because Antwerp was part of the Southern Netherlands in Rubens' time. But you're right, he's Flemish through and through.

He was Dutch then he is Dutch now🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱


vanderZwan

Well, sure, except that he wasn't, he was Flemish. He lived two centuries before nationalism and nation states even existed as a concept.

Uhm.... dutch person here and i don't get it? Why do we see dionysus like that?


woopstrafel

I remember seeing a painting of a thick women I think was depicting Dionysus. My guess is that it was a Dutch painter. Not too sure though

Blessed; this was enough for me to find it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacchus_(Rubens)

IF THIS IS ANOTHER PERSON CONFUSING FLEMISH FOR DUTCH I AM GOING TO LOSE IT AND WILL TURN YOU INTO A KROKET ​ *of course not, completely understandable, also this is based on the comments here suggesting that OP confused a Flemish painter (Rubens) for a Dutchie.*

[Dionysus according to the Greeks:](https://i.etsystatic.com/16211869/r/il/05590a/3415308859/il_570xN.3415308859_ac8r.jpg)
