EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Titian's masterpiece, "Bacchus and Ariadne" created between 1520-1523. The image, taken in the 1950s, captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of this ancient Greek mythological scene. In the painting, Bacchus presents a golden crown to his bride Ariadne against a backdrop of celestial beauty. The constellation depicted in the sky represents the magnificent golden crown bestowed upon Ariadne by Bacchus himself. This symbolizes their union and eternal love. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece where mythical figures like Dionysius (also known as Bacchus) and Arianna (Ariadne) come alive. Titian's skillful brushwork brings out every nuance of emotion on both male and female figures portrayed in the painting. The artist masterfully captures their nakedness with tasteful elegance, highlighting their vulnerability and sensuality. In addition to human subjects, an enchanting reptile - a snake - also finds its place within this composition. It adds an element of intrigue while alluding to Roman mythology surrounding Bacchus. Displayed at London's National Gallery, this oil painting continues to captivate art enthusiasts even centuries after its creation. Through this mesmerizing print from Heritage Images' collection curated by Sir William Orpen for The Outline of Art publication in 1950s London, viewers can appreciate Titian's genius up close without commercial intentions or
