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.
