"Le Giaour" is an oil painting by French artist Alexandre-Marie Colin, completed in 1829. The painting is inspired by Lord Byron's poem "The Giaour," which tells the story of a Venetian who falls in love with Leila, a harem slave, and subsequently avenges her death after she is drowned by her master for infidelity. The term "giaour" is a derogatory Turkish word for a non-Muslim, often referring to a Christian.

Colin's painting captures a dramatic moment from Byron's narrative poem, focusing on the emotional turmoil and the themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. The artwork is characterized by its Romantic style, with a strong emphasis on the expression of intense emotions and the use of dark, moody colors to convey the tragic atmosphere of the story. The central figure of the Giaour is depicted with a sense of brooding melancholy, reflecting the inner conflict and the sorrow of the character.

The painting is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in European art, where Western artists depicted scenes and themes from the East with a mixture of fascination and exoticism. "Le Giaour" by Colin is an example of how European artists of the time interpreted and represented Eastern narratives, often blending artistic imagination with elements of the cultures they portrayed.

"Le Giaour" by Alexandre-Marie Colin is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its role in the diffusion of Orientalist themes in 19th-century art. The painting is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and its evocative portrayal of Byron's literary work.
