"Belisarius Guided by a Child" is a notable painting by the French artist Baron François Gérard, completed in 1797. The artwork is a historical representation of the Byzantine general Flavius Belisarius, who, according to legend, was blinded and reduced to begging on the streets by the order of the Emperor Justinian. The painting captures the poignant moment when Belisarius, depicted as an old, blind man, is guided by a young child. This subject was popular during the Neoclassical period, as it reflected themes of virtue, loyalty, and the tragic fall from grace, which were central to the era's artistic expression.

Gérard's interpretation is particularly noted for its emotional depth and the dignified portrayal of its subject. The use of light and shadow, as well as the careful attention to the details of the figures' expressions, contribute to the narrative's dramatic effect. The painting is an exemplar of Neoclassical aesthetics, with its clear composition, smooth brushwork, and emphasis on moral message over ornamental excess.

"Belisarius Guided by a Child" has been analyzed for its social and political commentary, as the story of Belisarius was often used as an allegory for the treatment of veterans and the loyal servants of the state. Gérard's work reflects the artist's engagement with these contemporary issues, as well as his mastery of the Neoclassical style that dominated French art at the turn of the 19th century.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. As a work by Baron François Gérard, a prominent painter at the court of Napoleon Bonaparte, "Belisarius Guided by a Child" also offers insights into the cultural and political milieu of post-revolutionary France.
