Mythological scene, Ariadne grieving for the abandonment of Perseus.
17th century
Technique:
oil painting on canvas
Dimensions:
70x105 cm, framed 90x125 cm
Ariadne saddened by the abandonment of Perseus, Dionysus consoles her and offers her the crown with diamonds that will make up the Corona Borealis or Ariadne's constellation. "The work is pervaded by a very subtle sensuality, of Furinian ancestry are the softness of the complexion of Ariadne and the handmaid. Ariadne saddened by the abandonment of Theseus, although melancholy, emanates a chaste but voluptuous erotic sense, while she yearns for the pain. The appropriation of the opportunist Dionysus gives rise to a sum of intentions and feelings between the characters, so as to make it seem that the protagonists act and emerge as in a theatrical piece. of faces that express inner emotionality, with the breadth of emphatic movements give life to a work that tells itself, embellished with pictorial artifices created by the painter, like the shaded areas that light up the forms. the painter shows affinity with his contemporaries: Furini Francesco (1603-1641) and Cecco il Bravo (1601-1661), his contemporaries.
