"Cleomene Ayant Perdu Sa Femme Donne Sa Mere Et Son Fils En Otage A Ptolemee" is a historical painting by French artist Alexandre-Denis Abel de Pujol, created in 1814. The painting's title translates to "Cleomenes, Having Lost His Wife, Gives His Mother and Son as Hostages to Ptolemy" and depicts a scene from ancient history involving Cleomenes III, the king of Sparta from the Hellenistic period.

The artwork captures a poignant moment where Cleomenes III, after the death of his wife, is seen offering his mother Cratesiclea and his son as hostages to Ptolemy III Euergetes, the ruler of Egypt, to secure financial and military support. This act of desperation highlights the political and personal turmoil faced by Cleomenes III, who sought aid to reclaim his power and stabilize his reign in Sparta.

Abel de Pujol, a student of Jacques-Louis David, was known for his neoclassical style, which is evident in the painting's composition, use of color, and the portrayal of its classical subject. The painting reflects the neoclassical emphasis on historical and moral themes, with a focus on the virtues of sacrifice and duty.

The work is significant for its historical representation and as an example of early 19th-century French neoclassical painting. It demonstrates Abel de Pujol's skill in conveying complex emotional narratives and his ability to bring historical scenes to life through his artistry. The painting contributes to the understanding of neoclassical aesthetics and the cultural milieu of post-revolutionary France, where artists were frequently engaged with themes from classical antiquity to reflect contemporary concerns about virtue, leadership, and moral choices.

"Cleomene Ayant Perdu Sa Femme Donne Sa Mere Et Son Fils En Otage A Ptolemee" remains an important work within Abel de Pujol's oeuvre and offers insight into the historical events that inspired artists during the neoclassical era. The painting is also a testament to the enduring fascination with classical history and its capacity to offer moral and political lessons relevant to modern audiences.
