"The Forced Stop" (French: "L'Arrêt Forcé") is a painting by the 19th-century French artist Alexandre Antigna. Created in 1849, the work is a prime example of the social realism movement that sought to depict the lives and struggles of the working class and the poor. Antigna, known for his compassionate portrayal of human suffering, presents a scene that is both emotionally charged and reflective of the social issues of his time.

The painting illustrates a moment of unexpected pause in the lives of its subjects, likely due to an unforeseen event or circumstance. The composition and the use of light and shadow are indicative of Antigna's style, which often involves dramatic contrasts and a focus on the emotional state of his figures. "The Forced Stop" invites viewers to contemplate the narrative behind the depicted scene, engaging them in a dialogue about the broader social context and the human condition.

As a significant work in Antigna's oeuvre, "The Forced Stop" has been analyzed for its thematic depth and artistic techniques. It is a testament to the artist's commitment to social commentary through art and serves as a historical document of the era's societal challenges. The painting is held in a collection or museum that preserves French art from the period, allowing the public to appreciate Antigna's contribution to the social realism genre.

While "The Forced Stop" is not as widely recognized as some other works of the same era, it remains an important piece for scholars studying French art of the 19th century, social realism, and the intersection of art and social consciousness. The painting continues to be relevant in discussions about the role of art in reflecting and influencing societal change.
