Bacchus and Ariadne (1520–23) is an oil painting by Titian. It is one of a cycle of paintings on mythological subjects produced for Alfonso d’Este the Duke of Ferrara for the Camerino d’Alabastro – a private room in his palazzo in Ferrara decorated with paintings based on classical texts. An advance payment was given to Raphael who originally held the commission for the subject of a Triumph of Bacchus.
