Other art works

Bacchus and Ariadne are the subject of many works of art apart from the celebrated Titian. The story is featured on a Roman cameo plaque kept in the Louvre, in various post-Titian paintings and notably in a painting by the Nabis, Maurice Denis, in the Hermitage, and in a non-figurative oil by Frank Auerbach. Might it not be desirable to append a list of these other "Bacchus and Ariadnes" to the article? In my view it would certainly be helpful to students of the history of art. I invite knowledgeable editors to contribute. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Bacchus and Ariadne is an oil painting on canvas completed by Titian between 1522 and 1523. One of a cycle of paintings on mythological subjects produced for Alfonso d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara, it depicts the god Bacchus falling in love with Ariadne after she has been deserted by her lover Theseus. Behind Bacchus is a procession of revelers in a chariot drawn by two cheetahs. The painting now hangs in the National Gallery in London.Painting: Titian

Description: Correction/edit needed

I don't know what the Wiki writer intended, but there is an error here:

"Ovid lets Bacchus to throw the crown of Ariadne into the sky"

The extraneous word "to" could simply be deleted BUT the statement "Ovid lets Bacchus..." is not logical regarding a writer and his subject: why would he "let" Bacchus?

Restoration

The 'Restoration' section is entirely uncited, which is particularly awkward because it makes claims that it says are 'controversial'. I am no art expert, and would not know how to check the content; I propose to remove it, if no citations appear within (say) the next couple of weeks.

Lucas, A., Plesters, J. 'Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadne"'. National Gallery Technical Bulletin Vol 2, pp 25–47., http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/technical-bulletin/lucas_plesters1978 was already referenced. It has a very lengthy account, confirming there was controversy in the '60s, which is pretty well known. I have adjusted the text somewhat on the basis of a quick skim of this, & will try to return to it some time. Johnbod (talk) 17:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may have been referenced; but, absent inline citations, the reader would be compelled to read ALL referenced material to determine the verifiability of any given claim in the article. Please cite inline :-) MrDemeanour (talk) 14:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't cited before for that section, but is now. Johnbod (talk) 14:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Rokeby Venus is a painting by Diego Velázquez which was completed between 1647 and 1651. It depicts the Roman goddess Venus in a sensual pose, lying on a bed and looking into a mirror held by her son Cupid. The painting is the only surviving female nude by Velázquez. Since 1906 it has been in the National Gallery in London.
