"Géraud Christophe Michel Duroc, Duke of Frioul (1772–1813)" is an oil painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in the early 19th century. The portrait depicts Géraud Duroc, a prominent military figure and close associate of Napoleon Bonaparte, who served as a general during the Napoleonic Wars and was later ennobled as the Duke of Frioul. Gros, known for his grand historical paintings and portraits of Napoleon's officers, captures Duroc in a dignified pose, reflecting his status and the esteem in which he was held by the Emperor.

The painting is significant for its historical context and as an example of Gros's portraiture, which contributed to the romanticization of Napoleon's military campaigns. It portrays Duroc in his military uniform, adorned with the insignia of his rank and honors, and is characterized by Gros's skilled use of color and adept rendering of textures, from the sheen of Duroc's uniform to the softness of his hair.

As a work of art, "Géraud Christophe Michel Duroc, Duke of Frioul" offers insight into the period's aesthetic and the role of portraiture in commemorating and mythologizing historical figures. The painting is also a testament to the relationship between artist and subject, with Gros being a favored painter within Napoleon's court and Duroc being a key figure in the political and military landscape of the time.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Gros that documents the Napoleonic era and is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a valuable piece of cultural heritage. It is often studied within the broader context of French painting during the First Empire and contributes to the understanding of the era's visual culture and the representation of military and political elites.
