# Sick Bacchus is painted in the early 1590s as a self-aware illness image from Caravaggio’s Roman start Date: 1593 ## The fact Borghese holdings and Britannica treat Sick Bacchus (Bacchino malato) as an early-1590s self-portrait-type showing jaundiced illness after his Roman arrival and hospital stay narratives. Hospital of the Consolazione stories share the biographical file. It is one event. ## Context [Caravaggio](/people/caravaggio)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Young Lombard painter’s disease and poverty on arrival in Rome. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources Galleria Borghese and Britannica independently discuss Sick Bacchus as an early illness-tinged self image. Official or archival record: Galleria Borghese — Caravaggio holdings (https://www.collezionegalleriaborghese.it/en; Galleria Borghese). ## Significance An illness self-image from the painter’s precarious start is a health-capacity path. ## What is established and what is not Established: early-1590s Sick Bacchus in the Borghese/encyclopedia file. Not established: a modern lab diagnosis. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Caravaggio. They are not a public rating. The driver `health-system-capacity` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Caravaggio did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Year-level date. Later gallery display is not the painting act. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Caravaggio.
