"Ariadne on Naxos with Bacchus in the Distance" is a prominent artwork by the 17th-century Italian painter Alessandro Varotari, also known as Padovanino (1588–1650). Particularly famed for his contribution to the Venetian School of painting during the Late Renaissance and early Baroque period, Padovanino adopted this classical mythological narrative, a popular subject in the world of art.

Drawing upon Roman mythology, the artwork presents a narrative covering two phases of Ariadne life – her sorrowful abandonment by her former lover, Theseus, and her subsequent divinely-ordained betrothal to Bacchus (Dionysus in Greek mythology), the god of wine.

The piece showcases Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, deserted on the island of Naxos. Ariadne can be seen draped in vivid robes, her hands raised in a despairing plea towards the departing ship of Theseus, visible in the distance. This moment captures her profound sorrow and hopeless isolation.

Contrastingly, on the right side of the work, a youthful Bacchus is portrayed approaching Ariadne from a distance. He is depicted atop a chariot drawn by cheetahs, led by an entourage of dancing and frolicking followers, which imbues the scene with anticipation and promise of a happier future.

In "Ariadne on Naxos with Bacchus in the Distance," Padovanino employs his signature blend of rich, luminous hues and detailed rendering, resonating with majestic grandeur that is characteristic of Venetian art of the 17th century. Though the painting is currently in a private collection, its reproduction and critical analyses have contributed significantly to the understanding of Padovanino's oeuvre and aesthetic abilities.
