"Bacchus and Ariadne c. 1713" is a notable oil painting by the Italian painter Sebastiano Ricci, a prominent figure in the early Venetian Rococo movement. The painting depicts the mythological story of Bacchus, the god of wine, and Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos of Crete, as narrated in classical literature, such as the works of Ovid. According to the myth, after being abandoned by the hero Theseus on the island of Naxos, Ariadne is discovered by Bacchus, who falls in love with her at first sight and offers her a place among the stars as a constellation.

Ricci's interpretation of the subject is characterized by dynamic composition, vibrant color palette, and the sensuous and expressive figures that are typical of the Rococo style. The painting captures the moment of encounter between the two characters, with Bacchus often depicted in a chariot drawn by leopards, reaching out to the distressed Ariadne. The work is infused with a sense of drama and movement, reflecting the theatricality and emotional intensity that Ricci was known for.

Sebastiano Ricci (1659–1734) was an influential painter who played a significant role in the development of the Rococo style in Italy and later in England, where he spent a number of years. His work was instrumental in the transition from the grandeur of the Baroque to the more ornate and playful Rococo aesthetic. "Bacchus and Ariadne c. 1713" is a testament to Ricci's mastery of color, light, and narrative, and it remains an important example of his artistic legacy.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Ricci that explores classical mythology and its themes of love, tragedy, and transformation. It has been studied for its artistic merits as well as its interpretation of the mythological subject matter. "Bacchus and Ariadne c. 1713" holds significance not only for its place within Ricci's oeuvre but also for its contribution to the broader context of 18th-century European art. The work is housed in a notable art collection, though the specific location may vary as it could be part of temporary exhibitions or on loan to other institutions.
