"''Don Juan and the Statue of the Commander''" is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Évariste Fragonard (1780–1850), son of the more famous Rococo painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The work is inspired by the legendary tale of Don Juan, a fictional libertine and seducer, which has been a popular subject for various artists, composers, and writers over the centuries. Alexandre Évariste Fragonard, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his historical and mythological scenes, as well as for his contributions to the Romantic movement in French art.

The painting depicts a pivotal scene from the story of Don Juan, particularly as it is told in Molière's play ''Don Juan or the Stone Guest'' (1665). In this scene, Don Juan, who has killed the father of a woman he seduced, is confronted by a statue of the slain Commander. In a brazen act of defiance, Don Juan invites the statue to dinner, and to his horror, the statue comes to life and accepts the invitation. The artwork captures the moment of supernatural reckoning, with the statue appearing to Don Juan, often interpreted as a symbol of divine justice and the inevitable consequences of a life of vice.

Alexandre Évariste Fragonard's rendition of this dramatic encounter is characterized by its dynamic composition and the intense emotional expression of the figures, reflecting the Romantic fascination with the sublime and the exploration of themes such as transgression, punishment, and the supernatural. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Don Juan legend and its capacity to inspire artistic imagination across generations.

While the exact date of creation for "Don Juan and the Statue of the Commander" is not well-documented, the painting is an example of Fragonard's work during a period when he was also involved in various decorative projects for important buildings in Paris, including the Palais Bourbon and the Palais du Luxembourg. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time are subjects that would require further research to provide a more complete understanding of its significance within Alexandre Évariste Fragonard's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French art.
