"Les Licteurs Ramenent à Brutus les Corps de ses Fils" (The Lictors Bring to Brutus the Bodies of His Sons) is a seminal neoclassical painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1789. The painting is a poignant historical narrative that captures a moment from the early history of the Roman Republic, reflecting the Enlightenment values and the political climate leading up to the French Revolution.

The artwork depicts the Roman leader Lucius Junius Brutus, the founder of the Roman Republic, mourning the death of his sons. Brutus's sons had conspired to overthrow the republic and restore the monarchy, and as a result, they were sentenced to death by their own father in his capacity as consul. The painting shows the return of the lictors (Roman officials) carrying the bodies of the executed sons to Brutus, who is seated in a stoic and austere manner, embodying the Roman virtues of duty and the sacrifice of personal emotion for the good of the state.

David's composition is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, classical restraint, and a palette that emphasizes somber tones, all of which serve to heighten the emotional gravity of the scene. The figures are arranged in a manner that reflects the influence of classical sculpture, with Brutus's figure drawing particular attention due to his resolute yet pained expression.

"Les Licteurs Ramenent à Brutus les Corps de ses Fils" is not only a masterpiece of neoclassical painting but also a political commentary. David, who was an active supporter of the French Revolution, used this historical episode to comment on the contemporary political situation in France. The painting can be interpreted as an allegory for the virtue of putting the needs of the state above personal interests, a message that resonated with the revolutionary ideals of liberty, fraternity, and equality.

The painting is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance, technical mastery, and its role in the cultural and political discourse of its time.
