"Automedon with the Horses of Achilles" is an 1868 oil painting by the French artist Henri Alexandre Georges Regnault. The painting depicts the mythological figure Automedon, who was the charioteer of the Greek hero Achilles during the Trojan War, as recounted in Homer's epic, the Iliad. In the painting, Automedon is seen struggling to control the immortal horses of Achilles, Xanthos and Balius, who are in a state of distress after their master's death.

Regnault's work is renowned for its dynamic representation of movement and emotion, capturing the raw energy of the horses and the determined focus of Automedon. The painting is a testament to Regnault's academic training and his interest in exotic and classical subjects, which were popular during the Second Empire in France. The artist's attention to anatomical detail and the use of dramatic lighting are characteristic of the academic style of the period, while also hinting at the emerging movement of Orientalism, which Regnault would later embrace more fully in his career.

"Automedon with the Horses of Achilles" was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1868, where it received critical acclaim for its technical prowess and emotional intensity. The painting reflects the cultural fascination with ancient history and mythology that was prevalent in 19th-century European art. Today, the work is considered one of Regnault's masterpieces and is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its powerful depiction of a poignant moment from classical antiquity.
