"Belisarius 1776" is a neoclassical history painting by French artist François-André Vincent, acknowledged for his crucial role in the neoclassical movement that swept through French art in the late 18th century. Its scale and stylistic detail reflect the grand manner characteristic of this period, deeply rooted in the artist's training under Joseph-Marie Vien, the pioneer of French neoclassicism.

Rendering a legendary moralizing tale from the Byzantine Empire, the work depicts the figure of Belisarius, a prominent Byzantine general. Belisarius is portrayed as a blinded old man accused of conspiracy and reduced to beggary, eliciting a powerful sense of pathos. A young guide, traditionally identified as the general's grandson, accompanies him as a testament to his indomitable spirit.

François-André Vincent exhibited the painting in Salon of 1776, a grand exhibition for French artists, where it garnered remarkable attention. The composition is meticulously structured, employing dramatic contrasts of light and dark to generate emotional intensity. Notably, the painting reflects Vincent's skills in manifesting intricate historical narratives through profound realism and palpable tension, skills which had a significant impact on his contemporaries, including Jacques-Louis David.

"Belisarius 1776" is currently housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, continuing to captivate contemporary audiences with its powerful narrative thread and meticulously detailed depiction of the historical period. Historically, it marks a critical point in Vincent's career, affirming his mastery of the neoclassical style and securing his standing as a leading artist in pre-revolutionary France.
