Ariadne1.0130_Vanderlyn

Don't be too distracted (or frightened away) by the foreground image, because Theseus' departure is the narrative key to this painting, the element that turns the painting from a nude into a mythological narrative. Within the oval on the right (enlarged center) one can barely discern Theseus' ship and crew preparing for furtive abandonment of Ariadne. Vanderlyn thus depicts the phase of the narrative the anticipates Titian's moment.
I wonder whether Vanderlyn's painting makes conscious allusion to Sebastiano Ricci's "Meeting of Bacchus and Ariadne", which he would have known from its presence in the Royal Academy.

OGCMA entries for Ariadne are not utterly demarcated from usages of "Ariadne" (sola). It would seem that depictions of the Minoid immediately after her abandonment qualifies as "Ariadne" while usages treating her rescue by Dionysos go in as "DionysosAriadne".
