"Mars Disarmed by Venus and the Three Graces" is a large oil painting completed in 1824 by the eminent French artist Jacques-Louis David, who is widely regarded as a preeminent figure in the Neoclassical movement. Measuring 308 by 265 centimeters, this work is notable for being David's last great masterpiece before his death in 1825. The painting is currently housed in the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels.

The painting depicts a mythological scene in which Venus, the goddess of love, along with the Three Graces—representing beauty, charm, and joy—disarm Mars, the god of war. This allegorical tableau is rich with symbolic elements that contrast the themes of love and war, suggesting the triumph of love over martial conflict. Venus, at the center of the composition, gently persuades Mars to relinquish his sword, which is being taken by one of the Graces. The other two Graces are seen removing Mars' helmet and cuirass, further disrobing the god of his martial attributes.

David's mastery of form and composition is evident in the harmonious arrangement of figures and the delicate interplay of gazes and gestures, which guide the viewer's eye across the canvas. The painting's style reflects David's late Neoclassical approach, with its clear lines, smooth surfaces, and idealized anatomy, yet it also hints at a softening of his earlier, more austere Neoclassicism.

"Mars Disarmed by Venus and the Three Graces" was commissioned by David's patron, the Marquis de Pastoret, during the artist's exile in Brussels following the fall of Napoleon, with whom David had been closely associated. The work stands as a testament to David's enduring artistic legacy and his ability to convey complex narratives through the medium of paint, even in the twilight of his career. It remains an important example of Neoclassical painting and a significant piece within the oeuvre of one of France's most influential and historically significant artists.
