Sobre el cuadro
Baco (en italiano, Bacco) es un cuadro atribuido a menudo al pintor renacentista italiano Leonardo da Vinci. Está pintado al óleo sobre tabla transferido a lienzo y mide 177 cm de alto y 115 cm de ancho y data del periodo 1510-1515. Se conserva en el Museo del Louvre de París (Francia).
Algunos autores han afirmado que la pintura pudo ser obra de Cesare da Sesto, Cesare Bernazzano, Francesco Melzi o un "pintor lombardo". El fondo no parece típico de la obra de Leonardo y por ello da lugar a especulaciones sobre su autoría. Actualmente se considera que es un cuadro heredado por Salai, documentado en 1625 en Fontainebleau y en 1695 en las colecciones reales francesas.

En la vida de Leonardo da Vinci
La vida entera1513–1516
Illness in Rome, perhaps a first stroke
In Rome Leonardo fell ill, in what may have been the first of several strokes that eventually led to his death.
19 December 1515
At the meeting of Francis I and Leo X in Bologna
Leonardo attended the meeting of King Francis I of France and Pope Leo X. For Francis he built a walking mechanical lion from whose chest a bouquet of lilies appeared; it may have greeted the king in Lyon or been used during the talks with the pope.
1516
Moves to France at the invitation of Francis I
Leonardo accepted the French king's invitation and settled at the Château du Clos Lucé near the royal Château d'Amboise. As First Painter, Engineer and Architect to the King he received an annual pension of a thousand écus.
c. 1517
His right hand goes numb
Two years before his death Leonardo's right hand went numb, and he could barely move about without help. He spent his third year in Amboise in bed.
23 April 1519
His will: Francesco Melzi the principal heir
Leonardo made his will. His principal heir was his pupil and friend Francesco Melzi, who took charge of the master's paintings, tools, library and papers; his pupil Salaì and a servant each received half of his vineyards.
