## Commentary

In the 1650s Thomas van Yperen left Antwerp for the German-speaking regions; in 1656 he finally settled in Vienna, where he painted several religious scenes in a classicist style vaguely reminiscent of Rubens. The same style characterized his cabinet-size history pictures, also produced in Vienna, as for example, his Bacchanal. &lt;p&gt; &lt;table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor=&#34;\#99cccc&#34;&gt; &lt;tr valign=middle&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; border=0 valign=middle&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 7 minutes\):&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/saint-saens\_bacchanal.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Camille Saint-Saëns: Samson et Delila, Act III, Scene 2, Bacchanal&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
