In this intricate engraving by Pieter van Gunst, we witness Bacchus comforting Ariadne after she has been abandoned by Theseus. With a leopard resting at his feet, Bacchus stands tall as he offers solace to the distraught Ariadne. In the foreground, a mischievous putto indulges in revelry with a bunch of grapes, adding an element of playfulness to the scene. Meanwhile, in the background, we catch sight of a sailing boat symbolizing Theseus' departure from Naxos. The presence of cupids - amores, amoretti, and putti - further emphasizes the theme of love that permeates this artwork. Their ethereal beauty adds an enchanting touch to this depiction of passion and longing. Pieter van Gunst's masterful engraving skillfully brings together various elements to create a visually stunning composition.
