"Ariane abandonnée par Thésée" (Ariadne Abandoned by Theseus) is a notable sculpture created by the French artist Jacques-Augustin Pajou. Born in 1766, Pajou was a prominent sculptor during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known for his neoclassical style and his ability to convey deep emotion through his works. This particular sculpture, completed in 1816, is a testament to Pajou's skill and his ability to capture the dramatic intensity of mythological subjects.

The sculpture depicts the poignant moment from Greek mythology when Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, is abandoned by her lover, Theseus. According to the myth, after helping Theseus navigate the labyrinth and defeat the Minotaur, Ariadne elopes with him. However, Theseus later abandons her on the island of Naxos while she is asleep. Pajou's work captures the raw emotion of Ariadne's despair upon realizing her abandonment.

Crafted from marble, the sculpture showcases Pajou's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of the human form. Ariadne is portrayed in a state of distress, her body contorted in a way that conveys both physical and emotional turmoil. The folds of her drapery are rendered with exquisite precision, adding to the overall sense of movement and drama in the piece.

"Ariane abandonnée par Thésée" is celebrated not only for its technical excellence but also for its emotional depth. It stands as a significant example of neoclassical sculpture, reflecting the period's fascination with classical antiquity and its themes of heroism, love, and loss. Today, the sculpture is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike for its artistic and historical significance.
