"Bacchus and Ariadne" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Ferdinand Bol, a pupil of Rembrandt. The painting depicts the mythological story of Bacchus, the god of wine, and Ariadne, the daughter of Minos, King of Crete. According to the myth, after being abandoned by the hero Theseus on the island of Naxos, Ariadne is discovered by Bacchus, who falls in love with her at first sight and ultimately marries her.

Bol's interpretation of the subject is known for its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique influenced by his teacher Rembrandt, and for the emotional intensity of the figures. The composition typically shows Bacchus, often crowned with vines and grapes, approaching a startled or swooning Ariadne, set against a backdrop that evokes the classical world, with elements such as the sea, the sky, and often the presence of Bacchus's followers, the Bacchantes, and other mythological figures.

The painting is an example of Bol's work during the period when he was most influenced by Rembrandt, and it showcases his skill in rendering textures and capturing the psychological nuances of his subjects. The artwork reflects the Baroque era's fascination with classical mythology and its penchant for dramatic narratives, as well as the period's artistic interest in exploring human emotions and divine encounters.

As a notable work by Ferdinand Bol, "Bacchus and Ariadne" contributes to the understanding of Dutch Golden Age painting and the transmission of classical themes through the lens of 17th-century aesthetics. The painting is also significant for its representation of Bol's artistic development and his contribution to the Dutch tradition of history painting.
