"L'Étude et le Génie dévoilent l'antique Égypte à la Grèce" (Study and Genius reveal ancient Egypt to Greece) is a neoclassical painting by French artist François-Édouard Picot, created in 1826. The painting is an allegorical work that embodies the transfer of knowledge and inspiration from ancient Egyptian civilization to ancient Greece, which is often considered the cradle of Western culture. In this artwork, Picot illustrates the personifications of Study and Genius as they unveil the rich and ancient heritage of Egypt to an attentive Greek figure, symbolizing the enlightenment of Greek civilization through the wisdom of its predecessor.

The composition of the painting is carefully structured to emphasize the theme of enlightenment and the exchange of intellectual and cultural wealth. The figures are depicted with a classical grace, and the use of light and shadow serves to highlight the central narrative of the piece. Picot's work reflects the 19th-century European fascination with the ancient world and contributes to the period's romanticized view of the origins of Western civilization.

François-Édouard Picot (1786–1868) was a prominent painter in the French academic style, and his works often featured historical and mythological themes, executed with a polished technique that was characteristic of the academic art tradition of his time. "L'Étude et le Génie dévoilent l'antique Égypte à la Grèce" is a testament to Picot's skill in blending allegory with historical subject matter, and it remains an example of the enduring interest in the legacy of ancient civilizations and their influence on European art and culture.

The painting is part of Picot's broader oeuvre, which includes other notable works such as "L'Amour et Psyché" (Cupid and Psyche) and "La Mort de Sapho" (The Death of Sappho). Through his art, Picot contributed to the rich tapestry of French neoclassicism, and his paintings continue to be studied for their representation of the ideals and aesthetics of his era. "L'Étude et le Génie dévoilent l'antique Égypte à la Grèce" remains a significant piece within Picot's body of work, offering insight into the 19th-century perspective on the interconnectedness of ancient cultures and their lasting impact on the arts.
