Ariadne (303)

Here’s an entry on Ariadne from the Encyclopedia of Greek and Roman Mythology, which is available online through the library website: Ariadne

Below: a painting by Swiss artist Angelica Kauffman created in 1794 titled Ariadne Abandoned by Theseus. This image, and hundreds of others representing Ariadne, was found at artstor.org.

Robert Frank, the celebrated photographyer, died on Monday at age 94. That’s a pretty good run. Probably his most highly regarded work, The Americans, is really worth examining. The images in this post are taken from it. You can find these and many more images at artstor.org, which is available through the library website.
