"The Defeat of Porus" is a grand historical painting by the French artist Charles Le Brun, completed in 1673. This monumental work is a prime example of Le Brun's mastery in depicting dramatic historical scenes with a blend of classical and baroque elements. The painting illustrates the climactic battle between Alexander the Great and King Porus of India, a significant event that took place in 326 BCE during Alexander's campaign to expand his empire into the Indian subcontinent.

Le Brun, who was the court painter to King Louis XIV, created this work as part of a series of paintings celebrating the military triumphs of great historical figures, aligning with the grandeur and ambition of the Sun King's reign. "The Defeat of Porus" is notable for its dynamic composition, intricate detail, and the emotional intensity captured in the expressions and postures of the figures. The painting vividly portrays the moment of Porus's defeat, yet also emphasizes the nobility and valor of the defeated king, reflecting the classical virtues of heroism and magnanimity.

The artwork is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which enhances the sense of movement and chaos on the battlefield. Le Brun's meticulous attention to the anatomy of the human body and the realistic depiction of the horses and elephants in the scene demonstrate his deep understanding of classical art and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual means.

"The Defeat of Porus" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its artistic excellence and historical significance. The painting not only exemplifies Le Brun's skill as an artist but also serves as a testament to the cultural and political aspirations of 17th-century France.
