"Combat of the Giaour and the Pasha" is a renowned painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1827. This work is inspired by Lord Byron's poem "The Giaour" (1813), which tells the story of a tumultuous love triangle involving a Greek Christian known as the Giaour, a Turkish Pasha, and a beautiful harem woman named Leila. Delacroix, known for his expressive brushwork and bold use of color, captures a dramatic moment from the poem in which the Giaour avenges Leila's death by confronting her murderer, the Pasha.

The painting is a prime example of the Romantic movement's fascination with the exotic and the oriental, a theme that Delacroix explored in various works throughout his career. The artist's interest in the Near East was partly sparked by the Greek War of Independence (1821–1830) against the Ottoman Empire, which captured the imagination of many European artists and intellectuals of the time.

In "Combat of the Giaour and the Pasha," Delacroix's composition is dynamic, with a strong diagonal line emphasizing the movement and violence of the confrontation. The Giaour is depicted in the heat of battle, his figure tense and animated, while the Pasha is portrayed at the moment of defeat. The use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and dark, heightens the drama and emotional intensity of the scene.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its embodiment of Romantic ideals, such as the emphasis on emotion, the glorification of the past, and the celebration of individual heroism. "Combat of the Giaour and the Pasha" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Eugène Delacroix and continues to be studied for its historical context, artistic innovation, and its impact on the development of Romantic art.
