"Paris Refusing to Go to War" is a notable painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jacques-Louis David, created in 1788. This work exemplifies David's mastery in capturing classical themes and his dedication to the principles of Neoclassicism, which emphasized clarity, order, and the emulation of classical antiquity. The painting depicts the mythological figure Paris, the Trojan prince, in a moment of introspection and moral dilemma as he chooses to avoid the call to arms, a decision that ultimately leads to the Trojan War.

David's composition is meticulously structured, with Paris portrayed in a contemplative pose, surrounded by symbols of his inner conflict. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the emotional gravity of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to Paris's expression and body language. The background and surrounding elements are rendered with classical precision, reflecting David's extensive study of ancient Greek and Roman art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical context. Created on the eve of the French Revolution, "Paris Refusing to Go to War" can be interpreted as a subtle commentary on the political tensions of the time. David, who would later become an active supporter of the Revolution, imbues the work with a sense of moral questioning and the consequences of personal and political choices.

"Paris Refusing to Go to War" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its technical brilliance and its reflection of the complex interplay between art, mythology, and contemporary events. The painting remains a testament to Jacques-Louis David's enduring legacy as a pivotal figure in the Neoclassical movement and his ability to convey profound narratives through his art.
