"King Otto of Greece on Horseback with the Parthenon beyond" is a 19th-century painting by the German artist Albrecht Adam, depicting King Otto of Greece mounted on a horse with the iconic Parthenon in the background. Albrecht Adam (1786–1862), known for his battle scenes and equine portraits, captures the essence of the young Bavarian prince who became the first modern king of Greece in 1832 after the country's independence from Ottoman rule.

The painting is significant both as a work of art and as a historical document. It reflects the neoclassical and romantic sensibilities of the time, with a focus on the grandeur of ancient Greece and the revival of its glory through the newly established monarchy. King Otto, dressed in military attire, is portrayed as a regal and commanding presence, symbolizing the hope for a rejuvenated Greek state. The Parthenon, serving as a backdrop, reinforces this narrative by linking the new Hellenic Kingdom to the revered ancient past.

Adam's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the horse and the king's uniform, as well as the careful depiction of the Parthenon's architectural features. The painting not only celebrates the political change in Greece but also serves as a testament to the 19th-century European fascination with classical antiquity and the role of art in shaping national identity.

The painting holds cultural significance as it was created during a period when Greece was undergoing major political and social transformation. As such, it provides insight into the era's artistic movements and the political landscape of the time. It remains an important piece for understanding the visual representation of royal figures and the use of historical settings in European art of the period.
