Caption

Bacchus And Ariadne, 1894. The princess Ariadne fell asleep on a beach after being abandoned by the hero Theseus. Bacchus, the god of wine, found her and fell instantly in love with her. In this sculpture, the god is shown waking Ariadne with a tender kiss, as a faun mischievously tries to squeeze between them and steal attention by offering grapes.
