"Latone et les Grenouilles" (Leto and the Frogs) is a painting by Gérard de Lairesse, a prominent Dutch Golden Age painter known for his classical and historical scenes. The artwork depicts the mythological story of Leto (Latona in Latin), the mother of Apollo and Artemis, being harassed by the peasants of Lycia who denied her water while she was in labor. According to the myth, as recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses," the peasants went so far as to muddy the water to prevent her from drinking. In retaliation, Leto transformed them into frogs.

De Lairesse's interpretation of this tale is a fine example of his allegorical and mythological works, which were heavily influenced by the Baroque style and the classicism of Nicolas Poussin. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its classical composition, which reflects de Lairesse's knowledge of ancient art and literature. The figures are rendered with a sense of dignity and grace, typical of de Lairesse's approach to mythological subjects.

The exact date of creation for "Latone et les Grenouilles" is not well-documented, but Gérard de Lairesse's most productive period was during the late 17th century, which is when this work was likely completed. The painting is significant as it exemplifies the artist's skill in conveying complex narratives through his art, and it contributes to the understanding of how classical mythology was interpreted and visualized in the Dutch Golden Age.

"Latone et les Grenouilles" remains an important work for the study of Gérard de Lairesse's oeuvre and the broader context of European art history. It continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of mythological storytelling in visual form.
