The Cretan princess Ariadne has been abandoned on the Greek island of Naxos by Theseus, whose ship sails away in the distance. Bacchus, god of wine, falls in love at first sight with Ariadne and leaps from his chariot towards her. Later, Bacchus throws Ariadne’s crown into the air, immortalising her as the constellation Corona Borealis, represented by the stars above her head.\n\nThis painting is one of a celebrated series by Giovanni Bellini, Titian and the Ferrarese artist Dosso Dossi, commissioned for the Camerino d‘Alabastro (Alabaster Room) in the Ducal Palace, Ferrara, by Alfonso I d’Este, Duke of Ferrara. All the pictures, completed from 1514 to 1525, are bacchanals – scenes of hedonism, drinking, music making and lovemaking. Titian shows off his great skill as a colourist, combining in this single picture all of the purest and most vibrant pigments available at that time.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/titian-bacchus-and-ariadne\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Bacchus and Ariadne\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Titian","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50510010581235,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (69 1\/2\" x 75 1\/4\")","offer_id":50510010614003,"sku":null,"price":7583.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (17 1\/4\" x 18 5\/8\")","offer_id":50510010646771,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (21\" x 22 3\/4\")","offer_id":50510010679539,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (25 3\/4\" x 27 3\/4\")","offer_id":50510010712307,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (33 1\/4\" x 36\")","offer_id":50510010745075,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (40\" x 43 1\/8\")","offer_id":50510010777843,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (47 1\/8\" x 51\")","offer_id":50510010810611,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (56 1\/2\" x 60 7\/8\")","offer_id":50510010843379,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/BacchusandAriadne_2d345887-9238-4064-857d-589a96dc7218.jpg?v=1789443881","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/bacchus-and-ariadne-ngal1703","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
