About the piece
Painted in 1915 by Bryson Burroughs, this oil on canvas work interprets the classical myth of Ariadne on Naxos with a refined, late-symbolist sensibility. Burroughs, then a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, employed a luminous, mural-like technique that emphasizes gentle contours and a serene Mediterranean atmosphere.
