"The Meeting of Bacchus and Ariadne, c. 1713" is a notable work by the Italian painter Sebastiano Ricci, an influential figure in the early development of the Rococo style in European art. The painting depicts the mythological encounter between Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, and Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, following her abandonment by the hero Theseus on the island of Naxos. Ricci's interpretation of the scene captures the moment of Bacchus's arrival and his promise to Ariadne of eternal love, which is symbolized by the constellation Corona Borealis, according to the myth.

Sebastiano Ricci, born in 1659 in Belluno and active during the late Baroque period, was known for his dynamic compositions, vibrant use of color, and the incorporation of light to enhance the drama of his scenes. His work on "The Meeting of Bacchus and Ariadne" is a testament to his mastery of these elements, showcasing his ability to infuse mythological subjects with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

The painting is characterized by its fluid brushwork and the lively movement of its figures, which are hallmarks of Ricci's mature style. The artist's use of rich, contrasting colors and the intricate play of light and shadow contribute to the overall sense of theatricality in the work. The composition is carefully orchestrated to lead the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the despairing Ariadne to the exuberant Bacchus, surrounded by his entourage of satyrs and bacchantes, who celebrate their union with music and dance.

"The Meeting of Bacchus and Ariadne" not only exemplifies Ricci's artistic prowess but also reflects the shifting tastes of the early 18th century, as art patrons began to favor the lighter, more decorative qualities of the Rococo over the grandeur of the Baroque. The painting remains an important piece within Ricci's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the transition between these two significant periods in art history.
