"La Mort d'Hippolyte, suivant le récit de Théramène : La timide Aricie est alors arrivée ; elle approche, elle voit l'herbe rouge et fumante" is a notable work by the French painter Alexandre-Charles Guillemot. Created in the 19th century, this painting is inspired by the dramatic narrative from Jean Racine's tragedy "Phèdre," which in turn is based on the ancient Greek myth of Hippolytus. The artwork captures the moment after the death of Hippolyte, as described by the character Théramène, with the timid Aricie arriving at the scene.

In the myth, Hippolytus is the son of Theseus and is falsely accused by his stepmother, Phèdre, of having tried to seduce her. As a result of the accusation and a curse by Theseus, Hippolytus meets a tragic end, being dragged to death by his own horses that are spooked by a sea monster sent by Poseidon. Guillemot's painting poignantly depicts the aftermath of this event, focusing on the emotional impact on Aricie, who is said to have loved Hippolyte.

Guillemot, who was a student of the renowned Jacques-Louis David, is known for his classical style and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama through his works. "La Mort d'Hippolyte" is a prime example of his skill in composition and his dedication to classical themes. The painting is significant for its portrayal of human emotion, its adherence to the neoclassical style that was prevalent during Guillemot's time, and its contribution to the visual arts interpretation of classical literature.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, with the 'red and smoking grass' indicating the violence of Hippolytus's death, and the figure of Aricie providing a poignant contrast through her timid and sorrowful approach. Guillemot's work serves as an important cultural artifact, bridging the worlds of French classical literature and neoclassical painting, and offering insight into the artistic sensibilities of the period.
