"Oath of the Horatii" is a seminal neoclassical painting by French artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1784. Commissioned by King Louis XVI of France and now housed in the Louvre in Paris, the painting is a large oil on canvas work measuring 3.3 by 4.25 meters. It depicts a scene from a Roman legend recounted by Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, involving the Horatii brothers.

The narrative captured in the painting is one of sacrifice and patriotism, set in the period of war between Rome and Alba Longa. To avoid mass bloodshed, it was agreed that two sets of triplets, the Roman Horatii and the Alban Curiatii, would fight to determine the outcome of the war. David's composition focuses on the moment when the Horatii brothers swear an oath to their father, pledging to fight for Rome, as their father holds their swords aloft. The painting is celebrated for its portrayal of stoicism, civic duty, and the moral rigor of the figures, which are emblematic of the neoclassical movement that sought to reflect the virtues of antiquity.

The work is notable for its dramatic use of space, lighting, and strong lines, which emphasize the central action and the emotional contrasts between the determined expressions of the men and the sorrowful resignation of the women. "Oath of the Horatii" is widely regarded as a masterpiece of neoclassical art and is often cited for its influence on the development of French revolutionary aesthetics. David's painting has been interpreted as an allegory of loyalty to the state over personal and familial ties, reflecting the political climate of the time and prefiguring the coming revolution. It remains a key work in the study of art history and an enduring symbol of neoclassical ideals.
