Description

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's "Bacchus and Ariadne" is a painting depicting the mythological story of Bacchus, the god of wine, rescuing Ariadne after she was abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos. The painting is thought to be part of a series depicting the four elements, representing earth in this case, and was originally commissioned for a Venetian palace. The scene shows Bacchus, depicted sitting atop a wine barrel and offering a crown to Ariadne, with figures representing his retinue and the elements of earth.
