Ariadne On Naxos, Large Oil On Canvas Attributed To Michele Rocca (1671-1751)

Ariadne and Dionysus (Bacchus) on the Island of Naxos, Large Oil on Canvas from the late 17th/early 18th century.

Large 17th-century oil on canvas: Ariadne seduced by Dionysus on the island of Naxos.
A very beautiful pyramidal composition of the scene with numerous figures, superb colors and details: the faces, the drapery, the poses—everything is remarkable in this painting of very high quality.
We witness the scene from mythology where Ariadne, forgotten on the island of Naxos by Theseus after helping him defeat the Minotaur and escape the labyrinth thanks to the famous thread of Ariadne, is seduced by the god Dionysus.
The composition is magnificent, the details and colors are superb.
A high-quality canvas, relined in the 20th century. No restoration to report, simple giltwood frame. Italian work from the 17th century.

A very beautiful painting. Mythological.
