"Louis Pasteur" is an 1885 portrait by Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt, depicting the renowned French chemist and microbiologist Louis Pasteur in his laboratory at the rue d'Ulm, where he conducted much of his research. The painting is celebrated for its fine detail and the lifelike representation of Pasteur, capturing a moment of contemplation as he sits at his desk surrounded by his scientific instruments. Edelfelt, who was one of the most prominent Finnish artists of the 19th century, admired Pasteur and was granted sittings by the scientist after expressing his desire to portray a great Frenchman.

The portrait is notable for its blend of realism and academic painting, characteristic of Edelfelt's style, and it helped to establish his reputation in France. It is also significant for its subject matter, as Pasteur was a leading figure in science, responsible for groundbreaking work in the prevention of diseases and the development of vaccines. The painting reflects the respect and esteem that Pasteur commanded during his lifetime and contributes to the iconography of science and its practitioners.

Edelfelt's "Louis Pasteur" received critical acclaim when it was first exhibited and has since been regarded as an important work in the history of portrait painting. It is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a testament to its enduring value both as a work of art and as a historical document. The portrait not only captures the likeness of Pasteur but also serves as a window into the scientific environment of the late 19th century, emphasizing the role of art in interpreting and commemorating the achievements of science.
