"L'esclave et le lion" (The Slave and the Lion) is a notable painting by French artist Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (1859–1938), created in 1900. This work is emblematic of Rochegrosse's fascination with historical and mythological themes, often characterized by their vivid detail, dramatic intensity, and rich coloration. The painting is inspired by the ancient fable of Androcles, a story that has been retold through many cultures and epochs, which centers on the compassionate act of a slave who removes a thorn from a lion's paw, leading to a lasting friendship between the two.

Rochegrosse, known for his grand historical canvases, brings to life the moment of tender bravery and subsequent companionship with a realism that is both poignant and striking. The painting showcases his skill in capturing the textures of the natural world, the emotional depth of his subjects, and his ability to weave narrative complexity into visual art. "L'esclave et le lion" not only reflects Rochegrosse's technical prowess but also his engagement with themes of kindness, loyalty, and the breaking of societal boundaries through acts of personal courage.

The work is significant within Rochegrosse's oeuvre for its depiction of virtue and humanity transcending the constraints of status and nature. It also reflects broader trends in late 19th and early 20th-century French art, including an interest in Orientalism and the exploration of moral and philosophical questions through historical and allegorical subjects. "L'esclave et le lion" remains an important example of Rochegrosse's artistry and of the period's cultural and artistic preoccupations, continuing to captivate audiences with its timeless message and exquisite execution.
