"Portrait of François-René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand" is a notable artwork by the French painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, commonly known as Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson. The portrait, created in 1821, depicts François-René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848), a celebrated French writer, politician, diplomat, and historian who is considered the founder of Romanticism in French literature.

Girodet was a student of the famous neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David but developed a style that diverged from his teacher's strict neoclassicism, incorporating elements of Romanticism. This portrait is a testament to Girodet's skill in blending the neoclassical with the emerging Romantic sensibilities of the time. It captures Chateaubriand with a sense of introspection and a Romantic air of melancholy, which aligns with the writer's persona and his contributions to the literary movement.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. Chateaubriand was a key figure in the intellectual and political life of France during the post-revolutionary period, and his works had a profound influence on French literature. Girodet's portrayal of him is thus an important historical document, reflecting the image of one of the era's most influential thinkers.

The painting is characterized by its fine detail, the soft rendering of Chateaubriand's features, and the use of light to create a thoughtful atmosphere. Girodet's mastery of texture and color is evident in the realistic depiction of fabrics and the sitter's complexion. The portrait is a work of both historical and artistic significance, offering insight into the personality of Chateaubriand and the aesthetic shifts of the period.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the "Portrait of François-René, Vicomte de Chateaubriand" is housed in the Musée Girodet in Montargis, France, and continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of one of France's literary giants and its embodiment of the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism in French art.
