"Leonidas at Thermopylae" is a celebrated oil painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1814. The work is a historical depiction of the Battle of Thermopylae, which took place in 480 BC during the Persian Wars. The painting portrays the Spartan king Leonidas I as he prepares for the imminent battle against the Persian forces led by Xerxes I. David's composition captures a moment of solemn determination, as Leonidas stands resolute with his warriors in the face of overwhelming odds.

The painting, measuring 395 by 531 centimeters, is a grand example of the Neoclassical style, characterized by its clarity of form, sober colors, and classical subject matter. David, a prominent artist of his time, was known for his involvement with the French Revolution and for his role in shaping the Neoclassical aesthetic, which sought to reflect the virtues of the ancient world. "Leonidas at Thermopylae" is particularly noted for its meticulous attention to historical detail, as David conducted extensive research to ensure the authenticity of the armor, weapons, and setting.

Commissioned by the French government in 1800, the painting took David fourteen years to complete. It was exhibited at the Salon of 1814, where it received mixed reviews, with some critics admiring its heroic theme and others questioning its political implications during a time of upheaval in France. Today, "Leonidas at Thermopylae" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains an important work in the oeuvre of Jacques-Louis David, as well as a significant cultural artifact reflecting the artistic and political climate of early 19th-century France.
