The painting shows a young Bacchus discovering Ariadne on the island of Naxos, after she was abandoned by the Greek hero Theseus.

The painting was first attributed to Louis Le Nain, yet specialists still wonder if the author may not be Mathieu Le Nain.^{[citation needed]}

The idyll between Bacchus and Ariadne has inspired works by many artists, including Titian, Leigh Hunt and Richard Strauss who wrote the opera Ariadne auf Naxos.
