"The Family of Darius Before Alexander," also known as "The Queens of Persia at the Feet of Alexander," is a monumental painting by the French Baroque artist Charles Le Brun. Completed in 1661, this grand historical canvas is celebrated for its dramatic composition, intricate detail, and emotional depth. The painting depicts a significant episode from ancient history, specifically the moment after the Battle of Issus in 333 BCE, when Alexander the Great confronts the family of the defeated Persian king, Darius III.

Le Brun's work captures the poignant encounter with a remarkable sense of theatricality and psychological insight. The central figures include Alexander, portrayed with calm authority, and the Persian royal family, who are depicted in a state of supplication and distress. The painting is notable for its use of expressive gestures and facial expressions to convey the complex emotions of the scene, from the humility and fear of Darius's family to the magnanimity and composure of Alexander.

The composition is meticulously structured, with a strong diagonal axis that guides the viewer's eye through the narrative. Le Brun's mastery of color and light enhances the dramatic impact, creating a vivid contrast between the richly adorned Persians and the more austere figure of Alexander. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the elaborate costumes, intricate patterns, and the careful rendering of textures, which add to the overall realism and grandeur of the piece.

"The Family of Darius Before Alexander" was commissioned by King Louis XIV and is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. It is considered one of Le Brun's masterpieces and a quintessential example of French Baroque art. The painting not only reflects the historical and cultural interests of the 17th-century French court but also exemplifies Le Brun's skill in combining narrative clarity with emotional intensity.
