Dionysus and Ariadne is a 1730 oil by Giambattista Pittoni, a Rococo painting work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
In this painting, a man in a red robe stands on the right, holding a staff in his right hand and a wreath in his left. He wears a laurel wreath on his head and has a white cloth wrapped around his waist. To his left, a woman sits on a white cloth, wearing a yellow robe draped over her right shoulder. She has her left arm outstretched, and her right arm rests on her lap. The background features a blue sky with trees and a few cherubs. The overall atmosphere is one of classical mythology, with the figures depicted in a serene and natural setting.
