"Guillaume de Clermont Defending Ptolemais (Acre) in 1291" is a historical painting completed in 1845 by French artist Dominique Louis Papety. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from the Siege of Acre, the conclusive battle of the Crusades, where Guillaume de Clermont, a French knight and the Marshal of the Hospital, is shown heroically defending the city of Acre, also known as Ptolemais, against the Mamluk forces led by Sultan Al-Ashraf Khalil.

The painting is a romanticized representation of the fall of the last Crusader stronghold in the Holy Land, capturing the valor and tragedy of the Christian defenders. Papety's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to historical detail, vivid portrayal of the combatants, and the emotional intensity of the battle's climax. The artist's use of color and light emphasizes the drama and chaos of the siege, while the central figure of Guillaume de Clermont stands as a symbol of courage and sacrifice amidst the inevitable defeat.

Created during the July Monarchy period in France, Papety's painting reflects the 19th-century fascination with medieval history and the romantic glorification of chivalric ideals. It also serves as a testament to the enduring interest in the Crusades and their impact on European and Middle Eastern history. "Guillaume de Clermont Defending Ptolemais (Acre) in 1291" is not only an important work of French Romanticism but also a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the period's historical imagination and artistic expression.
