EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painting "Bacchus and Ariadne" by Nicolas Bertin. Created between 1710-20, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 73X92 cm and is housed in the National Museum of Stockholm, Sweden. Previously attributed to Antoine Coypel, it depicts a mesmerizing scene from Greek mythology. The story unfolds as Bacchus (Dionysius), the god of wine, encounters Ariadne on the island of Naxos. Instantly smitten by her beauty, he falls deeply in love with her. Ariadne, abandoned by Theseus and daughter of King Minos of Crete, becomes his beloved wife. This enchanting artwork beautifully captures their courtship amidst a lush landscape adorned with grapes - symbolizing Dionysian revelry and passion for wine. The French Rococo style adds an air of elegance to this classical mythological tale. Intriguing elements such as Cupid's arrow and satyrs further enhance the narrative while highlighting themes of attraction and desire. The artist skillfully portrays Bacchus' bow as both a weapon and a symbol of love's power. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Bacchus and Ariadne" transports viewers into a world where mythical characters come alive through artistry. This extraordinary piece invites us to delve into ancient tales while appreciating the timeless beauty found within classical mythology.
