Titian Bacchus and AriadneFXD
Summary
Theseus, whose ship is shown in the distance, has just left Ariadne on Naxos, when Bacchus arrives, jumping from his chariot drawn by two cheetahs, falling immediately in love with Ariadne. Bacchus raised her to heaven. The constellation Corona Borealis, Bacchus's crowning gift to her, is shown in the sky above her head.
