EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print showcases the enchanting painting "Bacchus and Ariadne on the Island of Naxos" by Dutch artist Cornelis van Poelenburgh. Set against a backdrop of azure skies, billowing clouds, and the vast expanse of the sea, this masterpiece transports viewers to a mythical realm. In this scene from Roman mythology, we witness Bacchus (also known as Dionysus), the god of wine and revelry, accompanied by his entourage. The central figure is Ariadne, a beautiful woman who catches Bacchus's eye. She sits gracefully on the seashore with her flowing robes cascading around her in vibrant colors. The composition skillfully captures both divine grandeur and earthly beauty. Van Poelenburgh's meticulous brushwork brings out every detail - from each delicate wave crashing onto the shore to every strand of hair gently caressed by the wind.

The serene landscape serves as a perfect stage for these mythological figures to come alive before our eyes. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Bacchus and Ariadne on the Island of Naxos" stands as a testament to van Poelenburgh's talent during Holland's Golden Age. This print preserves not only an artistic treasure but also offers us glimpses into centuries-old tales that continue to
