Description

In Episode 4 The Sunflowers are checking out Bacchus and Ariadne!
This painting was one of a very famous series by Bellini, Titian and Dosso Dossi - three really famous artists. It was commissioned for the Camerino d'Alabastro (Alabaster Room) in the Ducal Palace, Northern Italy. 
If you know a bit about Greek Mythology, then check this out. It's a painting showing Bacchus, the god of wine, with his followers on the right.
He suddenly falls in love with Ariadne on the left after seeing her, so he leaps from his chariot at her, drawn by two cheetahs!Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's something unusual in The National Gallery at night-time. Sometimes, the paintings come to life! Join Van Gogh's sunflowers as they explore some of their favourite paintings in the gallery, from dramatic battle scenes with rearing horses to god-like portraits and glittering angels. There are loads of secret things to discover about each of the paintings. Some paintings have been stored in castles covered in bat poo, some have been slashed with knives during vandalism, and some are over 400 years old!
