"L'empereur Maxentius A Cheval Se Noyant" (English: "Emperor Maxentius on Horseback Drowning") is a historical painting by the French artist Bénigne Gagneraux (1756–1795). The artwork, which dates from the 18th century, captures the dramatic moment of the death of Roman Emperor Maxentius, who is traditionally believed to have drowned in the Tiber River during the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312 AD. This battle was a pivotal event that led to Constantine the Great's rise to power and the eventual adoption of Christianity as the state religion of the Roman Empire.

Gagneraux, a neoclassical painter, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, which were characterized by their adherence to the classical ideals of harmony, proportion, and beauty. "L'empereur Maxentius A Cheval Se Noyant" is a testament to his skill in capturing the grandeur and tragedy of historical events, rendered with a keen attention to detail and a dramatic use of light and shadow.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical subject matter, as it reflects the 18th-century fascination with the ancient world and the moral lessons that Enlightenment thinkers believed could be drawn from its study. The depiction of Maxentius' demise serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of hubris and the inexorable march of fate.

As an important work by Gagneraux, "L'empereur Maxentius A Cheval Se Noyant" contributes to the understanding of neoclassical art and its role in shaping the cultural and intellectual landscape of the period. The painting is a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the visual representation of Roman history.
