"Antiochos und Stratonike" is a notable painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, completed in 1797. Girodet, a prominent figure in the Neoclassical movement, was a student of the renowned painter Jacques-Louis David. This work exemplifies his mastery in combining classical themes with a heightened sense of emotion and drama, characteristic of his style.

The painting depicts a poignant moment from ancient history, based on a story recounted by Plutarch and later by the Roman author Valerius Maximus. It illustrates the tale of Antiochus I Soter, the son of Seleucus I Nicator, who falls desperately in love with his stepmother, Stratonice. The narrative unfolds with Antiochus becoming gravely ill due to his unrequited love. The court physician, Erasistratus, discovers the cause of his malady and reveals it to Seleucus. In a dramatic gesture of paternal sacrifice, Seleucus relinquishes Stratonice to his son, thus saving Antiochus's life.

Girodet's rendition captures the emotional intensity of this moment. The composition is meticulously structured, with the figures arranged to draw the viewer's eye towards the central emotional exchange. Antiochus is depicted in a state of physical and emotional vulnerability, while Stratonice is shown with a mix of compassion and resignation. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the psychological depth of the characters.

The painting is celebrated for its technical excellence and emotional resonance. Girodet's attention to detail, from the intricate drapery to the expressive faces, demonstrates his skill and dedication to his craft. "Antiochos und Stratonike" remains an important work within Girodet's oeuvre and a significant example of Neoclassical art, reflecting the era's fascination with classical antiquity and its moral and emotional narratives.
