"Alphonse de Lamartine Rejecting the Red Flag at the Hôtel de Ville, Paris, 25th February 1848" is a historical painting by French artist Félix Philippoteaux, depicting a significant moment during the French Second Republic. The artwork captures the scene where Alphonse de Lamartine, a prominent poet and politician, rejects the adoption of the red flag as the national emblem in favor of retaining the tricolor, which he argued symbolized the unity of the Republic and the continuity of the nation.

Created by Philippoteaux, who was known for his historical and panoramic paintings, this work is an example of 19th-century French historical art, which often sought to immortalize pivotal events and figures from the country's past. The painting serves not only as an artistic representation of a key political event but also as a visual document that reflects the ideological struggles and the fervor of the revolutionary period in France.

The scene set at the Hôtel de Ville, the city hall of Paris, is charged with emotion and political tension, as Lamartine stands before a crowd, gesturing emphatically to dismiss the red flag, which was associated with socialism and the more radical elements of the revolution. The tricolor, which Lamartine defends, is a symbol of the 1789 Revolution and was meant to represent liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Philippoteaux's work is significant for its historical accuracy and its ability to convey the atmosphere of the time. The painting is not only a testament to the artist's skill but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the political climate of the 1848 Revolution and the ideals that shaped the formation of the French Second Republic.
