Bacchus and Ariadne are the subject of many works of art apart from the celebrated Titian. The story is featured on a Roman cameo plaque kept in the Louvre, in various post-Titian paintings and notably in a painting by theNabis,Maurice Denis, in the Hermitage, and in a non-figurative oil byFrank Auerbach. Might it not be desirable to append a list of these other "Bacchus and Ariadnes" to the article? In my view it would certainly be helpful to students of the history of art. I invite knowledgeable editors to contribute.Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk)23:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

I don't know what the Wiki writer intended, but there is an error here:
"Ovid lets Bacchus to throw the crown of Ariadne into the sky"
The extraneous word "to" could simply be deleted BUT the statement "Ovid lets Bacchus..." is not logical regarding a writer and his subject: why would he "let" Bacchus?

The 'Restoration' section is entirely uncited, which is particularly awkward because it makes claims that it says are 'controversial'. I am no art expert, and would not know how to check the content; I propose to remove it, if no citations appear within (say) the next couple of weeks.MrDemeanour (talk)12:03, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
- Lucas, A., Plesters, J. 'Titian's "Bacchus and Ariadne"'. National Gallery Technical Bulletin Vol 2, pp 25–47.,http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/technical-bulletin/lucas_plesters1978 was already referenced. It has a very lengthy account, confirming there was controversy in the '60s, which is pretty well known. I have adjusted the text somewhat on the basis of a quick skim of this, & will try to return to it some time.Johnbod (talk)17:54, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
- It may have been referenced; but, absent inline citations, the reader would be compelled to read ALL referenced material to determine the verifiability of any given claim in the article. Please cite inline :-)MrDemeanour (talk)14:05, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
- It wasn't cited before for that section, but is now.Johnbod (talk)14:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
