"Alain Chartier" is a painting by the British artist Edmund Blair Leighton (1852–1922), known for his historical genre scenes, often with a focus on the medieval period. The painting depicts a moment from the life of the French poet and diplomat Alain Chartier (c. 1385–1430), who is best known for his work during the Hundred Years' War and is often associated with the development of French prose.

In Blair Leighton's work, the artist captures a romanticized interpretation of a legendary event in Chartier's life. According to the tale, Margaret of Scotland, the wife of King Louis XI of France, was said to have kissed Chartier while he was asleep, declaring that she was kissing not the man, but the precious words of his mouth. This anecdote, which highlights the esteem in which the poet's work was held, has been a popular subject for artists, reflecting the romantic idealization of both the poet's craft and the chivalric values of the era.

Blair Leighton's painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to historical detail, from the costumes to the architectural elements, and is imbued with the Victorian fascination with chivalry and courtly love. The artist's portrayal of this scene is typical of his work, which often romanticizes and idealizes moments from history and literature, presenting them with a sense of drama and elegance.

"Alain Chartier" is part of Blair Leighton's broader oeuvre, which includes other well-known paintings such as "The Accolade" (1901) and "God Speed" (1900). His works are appreciated for their technical skill and their ability to evoke the spirit of bygone eras, and they continue to be of interest to those studying the intersection of art, history, and literature in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
