"Bacchus Consolant Ariane Abandonnée Par Thésée" (Bacchus and Ariadne) is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Louis Jean François Lagrenée, also known as Lagrenée l'Aîné (the elder) to distinguish him from his younger brother. Born in 1725, Lagrenée was a prominent painter who became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1755 and later served as the director of the French Academy in Rome. His work is characteristic of the Rococo style, which was prevalent during his time, and often featured mythological and allegorical subjects.

The painting depicts the moment from classical mythology when Bacchus, the god of wine, encounters Ariadne after she has been abandoned on the island of Naxos by the hero Theseus. According to the myth, Theseus left Ariadne asleep on the island while he departed for Athens. Upon waking and realizing her abandonment, Ariadne is consoled by Bacchus, who falls in love with her at first sight. Lagrenée's interpretation of this scene captures the emotional intensity of the encounter, with Bacchus tenderly approaching a distraught Ariadne.

Lagrenée's mastery of color and composition is evident in this work, as he skillfully contrasts the rich, warm tones of Bacchus's entourage with the cooler, more subdued colors surrounding Ariadne, emphasizing her isolation and vulnerability. The painting is also noted for its elegant depiction of the figures and the fluidity of their drapery, hallmarks of the Rococo aesthetic.

"Bacchus Consolant Ariane Abandonnée Par Thésée" is an example of Lagrenée's ability to convey complex emotions and narratives through his art. The painting not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also serves as an illustration of the enduring appeal of classical mythology in the arts. It remains an important work within Lagrenée's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of 18th-century French painting and the broader Rococo movement.
