"La Continence de Scipion" is an oil painting by the French artist François Boucher, created in 1743. The work exemplifies Boucher's Rococo style, which is characterized by soft colors, fluid lines, and a light-hearted, often romantic or mythological subject matter. The painting depicts the historical event of Scipio Africanus's merciful act during the Second Punic War, where he returned a captured young woman to her fiancé, an act that became emblematic of continence and virtue.

The composition of "La Continence de Scipion" is marked by its theatrical arrangement and the sensuousness typical of Boucher's work. The central figures are rendered with a delicate interplay of light and shadow, showcasing Boucher's skill in capturing the textures of fabrics and the human form. The painting's narrative is drawn from classical antiquity, reflecting the 18th-century French aristocracy's fascination with Greco-Roman history and virtues as moral exemplars.

Boucher's painting not only illustrates a moral tale but also serves as a reflection of the opulent and decorative tastes of the time, particularly under the patronage of Madame de Pompadour, the influential mistress of King Louis XV. "La Continence de Scipion" is a testament to Boucher's mastery in combining historical narrative with the ornate elegance of the Rococo aesthetic.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Tours, France. As an important work by François Boucher, it continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as an example of the cultural values of 18th-century France.
