"Byron as Don Juan, with Haidee" is a 19th-century painting by French artist Alexandre-Marie Colin, created in 1828. The artwork is a romantic and dramatic portrayal of the British poet Lord Byron in the guise of his famous literary creation, Don Juan, from the epic satirical poem "Don Juan" that Byron himself wrote. The painting captures a moment from the poem, specifically from the second canto, where Don Juan finds himself shipwrecked on a Greek island and is nursed back to health by the beautiful Haidee, the daughter of a pirate.

Colin's painting is a testament to the Romantic era's fascination with the Byronic hero—a charismatic, attractive, and flawed character, often rebellious and in conflict with societal norms. The artist depicts Byron and Haidee in an idyllic setting, emphasizing the exotic and erotic undertones of their encounter. The work is imbued with the themes of love, passion, and the defiance of conventional morality, which are central to the Romantic movement and to Byron's own life and poetry.

The painting stands as a significant cultural artifact, not only for its artistic merit but also for its reflection of the period's literary tastes and the cult of personality surrounding Lord Byron. Alexandre-Marie Colin, a student of the renowned Jacques-Louis David, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, and "Byron as Don Juan, with Haidee" is a prime example of his skill in blending portraiture with narrative painting. The piece is a valuable contribution to the visual interpretation of literary works in art history and offers insight into the interplay between visual arts and literature during the Romantic period.
