"Ariane abandonnée par Thésée" (Ariadne Abandoned by Theseus) is a notable sculpture by the French artist Jacques-Augustin Pajou, created during the 18th century. This work of art captures the moment from Greek mythology when Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, is left deserted by her lover, Theseus, on the island of Naxos. Pajou, who was a prominent sculptor of his time, is known for his mastery in portraying emotional depth and classical themes through his sculptures.

The sculpture is a poignant representation of Ariadne's despair and sense of betrayal upon realizing that Theseus, whom she had helped to escape the Labyrinth after slaying the Minotaur, has abandoned her. Pajou's attention to detail and ability to convey complex emotions through marble is evident in this piece. The figure of Ariadne is often depicted in a reclined, vulnerable position, which emphasizes her abandonment and sorrow.

Jacques-Augustin Pajou (1730-1809) was a respected French sculptor who received numerous commissions and accolades during his career, including membership in the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. His works are characterized by their neoclassical style and often reflect the influence of ancient Greek and Roman art, which was popular during the period known as the Age of Enlightenment.

"Ariane abandonnée par Thésée" is considered an important work within Pajou's oeuvre and within the broader context of 18th-century French sculpture. It exemplifies the neoclassical aesthetic and the era's fascination with classical antiquity, while also showcasing Pajou's individual artistic skills and emotional expression. The sculpture remains an enduring testament to the artist's legacy and is studied for its artistic and historical significance.
