EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture "Bacchus and Ariadne" created by Aime Jules Dalou in 1894. Standing at a height of 82 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute located in Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA. The photograph captures the essence of Greek mythology as it depicts Bacchus, the god of wine, embracing his lover Ariadne. The intricate details of their intertwined bodies evoke a sense of passion and desire. Surrounding them are playful putti cherubs who add an element of whimsy to the scene. Dalou's sculpture pays homage to ancient Greece with its classical style and references to well-known literary works such as Ovid's Metamorphoses and Catullus' poetry. The artist skillfully portrays both male and female nudity, symbolizing vulnerability and sensuality. The setting for this mythological encounter is Naxos, where Ariadne was abandoned by Theseus but later found solace in Bacchus' arms. This timeless portrayal captures the eternal theme of love conquering all obstacles. As you gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images, let your imagination transport you back to ancient times when gods roamed among mortals and love stories unfolded against a backdrop of divine beauty.
