Sassuolo, Este Ducal Palace, the Bacchus Gallery: Bacchus reaches Ariadne abandoned by Theseus on the island of Naxos. The faux tapestry raised by a putto which remains almost totally hidden by it, depicts a seascape dominated by a rock on which Ariadne sits. On the right, Bacchus tries to console her for Theseus' flight; behind him some satyrs and ships. It is one of the forty-one panels with scenes painted by Jean Boulanger which narrate the events of Bacchus. Wall tempera painting, 1650 - 52.
