"Ariadne" is a notable painting by the British artist Herbert James Draper, created in 1905. Draper, a prominent figure in the late Victorian and Edwardian art scenes, is renowned for his mythological and allegorical subjects, often depicted with a romantic and sensuous flair. "Ariadne" exemplifies Draper's fascination with classical mythology and his adept skill in rendering the human form with meticulous detail and emotional depth.

The painting portrays Ariadne, a figure from Greek mythology, who is best known for her role in the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. According to the myth, Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, falls in love with the Athenian hero Theseus and helps him navigate the labyrinth to defeat the Minotaur by providing him with a ball of thread. After Theseus's victory, they flee together, but Theseus eventually abandons Ariadne on the island of Naxos. In Draper's depiction, Ariadne is shown in a moment of poignant solitude, capturing the emotional aftermath of her abandonment.

Draper's "Ariadne" is celebrated for its lush, evocative use of color and light, which enhances the melancholic atmosphere of the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate rendering of Ariadne's flowing garments and the naturalistic portrayal of the surrounding landscape. The painting reflects Draper's academic training and his ability to blend classical themes with a modern sensibility, making it a significant work within his oeuvre.

"Ariadne" is housed in a private collection, and its exhibition history includes various notable galleries and museums, where it has been appreciated for its artistic merit and emotional resonance. Draper's work continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the revival of classical themes in late 19th and early 20th-century British art.
