Dionysos (Bacchus) and Ariadne is a 1787 oil by Jonas Åkerström, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting depicts a serene scene of two figures in a lush, natural setting. A woman, adorned in a flowing purple and yellow garment, stands alongside a nude man. The woman holds a wreath above her head, while the man grasps a bunch of grapes. To their right, a small cherub sits on a leopard, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The background is dominated by trees and foliage, with a distant mountain range visible in the distance. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of harmony and balance in the painting. The woman's flowing garment and the man's relaxed pose contribute to the overall sense of serenity.
