Other art works
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 the Nabis, Maurice Denis, in the Hermitage, and in a non-figurative oil by Frank 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)

File:Titian Bacchus and Ariadne.jpg to appear as POTD
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Titian Bacchus and Ariadne.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 4, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-09-04. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:56, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Description: Correction/edit needed
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?

Restoration
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)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * It wasn't cited before for that section, but is now. Johnbod (talk) 14:09, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
