Mythological Scenes by Charles Le Brun is a collection of artworks created by the French painter, draughtsman, and decorator Charles Le Brun (1619–1690), who is widely recognized as the dominant figure in 17th-century French art. Le Brun's mythological scenes are notable for their grandeur, intricate detail, and the way they reflect the tastes and ideologies of the court of King Louis XIV, under whose patronage Le Brun worked for much of his career.

As the principal painter to the king, Le Brun held significant influence over the visual representation of mythology in the context of French classicism. His mythological scenes often served as allegories, glorifying the king and his reign, and were characterized by their dramatic expression, rigorous composition, and a strong emphasis on the narrative element of the myths depicted. These works were part of a larger program of artistic production that aimed to establish a visual language befitting the grandeur of the Sun King and his absolute monarchy.

Le Brun's mythological paintings can be found in various historical locations, including the Palace of Versailles, where his works contributed to the iconography that celebrated the power and divine right of the king. The scenes often drew from classical sources such as Ovid's Metamorphoses and were executed with a mastery of classical forms and an understanding of ancient art, which Le Brun had studied intensively.

The Mythological Scenes encompass a range of subjects from the exploits of the gods to the adventures of heroes, each chosen for its symbolic resonance with the values and ambitions of the French court. Le Brun's ability to infuse these ancient stories with contemporary significance made his work particularly effective as a tool of political propaganda.

Today, these paintings are not only appreciated for their aesthetic and historical value but also studied for their role in the development of French art and their influence on the visual culture of the era. They remain a testament to Charles Le Brun's skill as an artist and his capacity to weave together art, mythology, and politics in a tapestry of imagery that defined an era.
