"Zeuxis Choosing Models from the Beautiful Women of Croton" is a neoclassical painting completed in 1789 by the French artist François-André Vincent. The artwork is a historical painting that depicts a legendary episode from the life of Zeuxis, a 5th-century BC Greek painter. According to the anecdote, the citizens of Croton, a city in Magna Graecia, commissioned Zeuxis to paint a portrait of Helen of Troy, the epitome of female beauty. To accomplish this task, Zeuxis requested that the most beautiful maidens of Croton be presented to him so that he could select features from each to compose an idealized image of Helen.

François-André Vincent's interpretation of this scene is a testament to the neoclassical movement's emphasis on classical antiquity, idealized figures, and moral themes. In the painting, Zeuxis is portrayed as a discerning artist, carefully examining the young women who are vying to contribute to his portrayal of Helen. The work reflects the neoclassical ideals of beauty and virtue, as well as the period's interest in the intellectual aspects of art-making.

Vincent, a leading neoclassical painter of his time, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, which often contained moral or intellectual narratives. "Zeuxis Choosing Models from the Beautiful Women of Croton" is a prime example of his skill in composition and his ability to convey complex themes through the medium of paint. The painting is celebrated for its refined execution, attention to detail, and its embodiment of the neoclassical principles that dominated French art at the close of the 18th century.
