"Bacchus and Ariadne c. 1699" is a notable painting by the French artist Charles de La Fosse, who was a prominent figure in the Baroque period of art. This work is an interpretation of the classical mythological story of Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, and Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete. The painting depicts the moment when Bacchus encounters Ariadne after she has been abandoned by the hero Theseus on the island of Naxos. Captivated by her beauty, Bacchus falls in love with her and offers her a place among the stars as a constellation.

Created around 1699, this painting is a fine example of La Fosse's mastery in handling mythological subjects, which were popular during the Baroque era. The artist's use of dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow are characteristic of the grandeur and emotional intensity associated with Baroque art. The work reflects the influence of La Fosse's contemporaries and predecessors, such as Charles Le Brun and the Venetian masters, while also showcasing his own creativity and skill.

Charles de La Fosse (1636–1716) was renowned for his ceiling paintings and decorative schemes for royal and aristocratic patrons. His work on "Bacchus and Ariadne" exemplifies his ability to convey narrative through expressive figures and a vivid sense of movement, which engages the viewer and brings the ancient story to life. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the cultural and aesthetic values of the late 17th century in France.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical and artistic importance. "Bacchus and Ariadne c. 1699" remains a testament to Charles de La Fosse's contribution to the development of French Baroque painting and his enduring legacy in the history of art.
