About the piece
Painted around 1740 by Jacopo Amigoni, this work captures the moment Bacchus finds the abandoned Ariadne on the island of Naxos. The composition is a masterclass in Rococo style, featuring fluttering drapery, soft skin tones, and an airy atmosphere. The inclusion of Hymen holding a torch and playful putti with leopards adds narrative depth and dynamic energy to this classic scene.
