Carracci masterfully portrays the body. He pays attention to every curve of the body. Natural tones in the transfer of color are surprising. All the heroes of his canvases are alive. It seems that with all its fabulousness, the characters are as real as possible.
Everything rejoices and merges in one burst of joy. The artist fills his canvas with a huge number of characters, each of which is individual. You can consider his creation to infinity. The beauty of nature and the harmony of man with nature sounds incredibly powerful in his masterpiece.
The painter took the mythological plot, but he interprets it differently. He does not simply depict the wedding procession, but puts into the canvas his thoughts about the beauty of man and nature.The Triumph of Bacchus and Ariadne” – the central ceiling panel of the famous Farnese Gallery. Here is a triumphal wedding procession of Bacchus and Ariadne. Like other frescoes of the Farnese Gallery, this work is devoted to the theme of sensual love. There are two versions of the myth, dedicated to the marriage of Ariadne and Bacchus.
According to the first, Theseus, who loved him Ariadne helped to get out of the labyrinth of the Minotaur, promised to marry her and persuaded her to flee with him, but then left her sleeping on the island of Naxos. Here, Ariadne allegedly found Bacchus,
ho at first sight fell in love with her. Another version of the myth says that Theseus did not abandon Ariadne, but Bacchus, having inflamed her with passion, himself took it from Theseus and carried to the island of Lemnos, where the wedding was celebrated, so expressively and painstakingly portrayed by Annibale Carracci.
The wedding procession stretches along the arch of the gallery, forming a rhythmic pattern. It is headed by a drunk Silenus. A beautiful young Bacchus is sitting on a chariot drawn by leopards, while Ariadne is being driven by white fine-wool goats. In front of the chariots, the spouses flee, whirling in violent dance, satyrs and maenads.
