EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francesco Solimena's masterpiece, "Bacchus and Ariadne" painted in the 17th century. The oil on copper painting measures 30.8x50.6 cm and is part of a private collection. Known as l'Abbate Ciccio, Solimena skillfully captures the essence of this classical mythological scene. In the image, we see Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, standing triumphantly in his chariot adorned with stars. He is accompanied by his loyal cheetah while being crowned by Ariadne, a goddess who was abandoned on an island but later rescued by Bacchus himself. The composition exudes baroque elegance with its rich colors and intricate details. The celestial heavens serve as a backdrop to this divine moment where paradise meets mortal existence. Ariadne's delicate presence adds grace to the picture as she crowns her husband with adoration. Cherubs surround them, symbolizing love and devotion. Solimena's masterful brushwork brings life to each character portrayed in this enchanting artwork from the 18th century. The juxtaposition of light and shadow creates depth while highlighting their ethereal beauty. This print allows us to appreciate every nuance of Solimena's genius without compromising any commercial use restrictions associated with it. It serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time and captivate viewers for centuries to come.
