"Louis-Philippe 1773-1850 Duke of Orleans, Asking for Hospitality from the Monks of Petit Saint-Bernard, 1794" is a historical painting by the French artist Émile Jean-Horace Vernet, commonly known as Horace Vernet. Created in 1834, this artwork is part of Vernet's extensive body of work that often depicted military and historical scenes, reflecting the turbulent times in which he lived.

The painting captures a moment from the life of Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, who would later become King Louis-Philippe I of France, reigning from 1830 to 1848. The scene is set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, a period of significant upheaval and radical social change. In 1794, during the Revolution's most violent phase known as the Reign of Terror, Louis-Philippe, then the Duke of Orleans, was forced to flee France due to the threat of persecution. The painting portrays the young duke seeking refuge with the monks of the Hospice du Petit Saint-Bernard, a monastery located in the Alps on the border between France and Italy.

Vernet's composition is imbued with dramatic tension and emotion, reflecting the desperation of the duke's situation and the compassion of the monks. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the harsh alpine environment underscore the painting's narrative. The work is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context, as it illustrates a pivotal moment in the life of a man who would later ascend to the French throne during a period of relative stability known as the July Monarchy.

The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of French Romanticism and the political landscape of 19th-century France. As a testament to Vernet's skill and historical relevance, "Louis-Philippe 1773-1850 Duke of Orleans, Asking for Hospitality from the Monks of Petit Saint-Bernard, 1794" remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, history, and politics during this era.
