"Ariadne in Naxos" is an oil painting by the eminent Victorian artist George Frederick Watts, completed in 1875. This artwork is part of a series of paintings by Watts that delve into themes of mythology and human emotion. The painting depicts Ariadne, a figure from Greek mythology, who is abandoned by her lover, Theseus, on the island of Naxos. Watts's portrayal of Ariadne is rich in symbolism and reflects the artist's interest in the psychological states of his subjects.

In the painting, Ariadne is shown reclining on the desolate shores of Naxos, her figure draped in flowing garments that echo the curves of the landscape. The composition captures the moment of her desolation as she awakens to find herself deserted. Watts uses a somber palette to convey the mood of abandonment and sorrow, while the play of light and shadow on Ariadne's form adds a dramatic intensity to the scene.

George Frederick Watts was known for his allegorical works and "Ariadne in Naxos" is a prime example of his ability to fuse classical themes with a modern sensibility. The painting is often interpreted as a meditation on the human condition, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and the resilience of the human spirit. Watts's work is characterized by a philosophical depth and a mastery of painterly techniques, both of which are evident in this poignant representation of Ariadne.

"Ariadne in Naxos" is held in high regard for its aesthetic and narrative qualities, and it continues to be studied for its contribution to the symbolism movement and its place within the broader context of 19th-century British art. The painting is part of the collection of the Watts Gallery, located near Guildford, in Surrey, England, which houses a significant number of works by the artist.
