"The Defeat of the Teutons and the Cimbri by Gaius Marius" is a historical painting by French artist François-Joseph Heim, created in 1833. The artwork, which is an oil on canvas, depicts the pivotal victory of Roman forces under the command of General Gaius Marius over the Teutonic and Cimbrian tribes in the late 2nd century BCE. This victory was crucial in the defense of the Roman Republic against the migration and incursion of these Northern European tribes.

Heim's painting is a grand historical narrative, capturing the drama and the aftermath of the Battle of Aquae Sextiae in 102 BCE, where the Teutons were decisively defeated, and the subsequent Battle of Vercellae in 101 BCE, where the Cimbri met a similar fate. The artwork reflects the Romantic fascination with heroism and the grandeur of history that was prevalent in the 19th century. It is characterized by its meticulous detail, dynamic composition, and the vivid portrayal of the emotions of both the victors and the vanquished.

François-Joseph Heim (1787–1865) was a prominent historical painter of his time, known for his academic style and his role as a professor at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His works often featured scenes from French and classical history, intended to evoke moral lessons and patriotic sentiments. "The Defeat of the Teutons and the Cimbri by Gaius Marius" is considered one of his significant works, contributing to the visual culture of the period and the understanding of Roman history.

The painting is notable for its reflection of the political climate of France in the 1830s, as well as for its artistic merits. It serves as an example of how art and history intertwine, with Heim using the past to comment on the present and inspire the future. The work is housed in a prestigious institution, adding to its accessibility and continued relevance in the study of art history.
