"The Loves of Paris and Helen" (1788) is a neoclassical painting by the renowned French artist Jacques-Louis David. This work of art captures a scene from classical antiquity, depicting the fabled romance between Paris, a prince of Troy, and Helen, the queen of Sparta, whose abduction sparked the Trojan War as told in Greek mythology. The painting is a testament to David's mastery of classical themes and his role in the neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the ideals of ancient Greek and Roman art.

Measuring 144 cm × 180 cm, the oil on canvas painting is noted for its clarity of form, sober colors, and harmonious composition, all hallmarks of David's style during this period. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through the poised expressions and gestures of his subjects are evident in this work. "The Loves of Paris and Helen" exemplifies David's ability to blend historical narrative with moral lesson, as the painting not only portrays a legendary love affair but also serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of passion and the pursuit of desire.

Commissioned by the Comte d'Artois, brother of King Louis XVI, the painting was intended to decorate a new palace in Paris. However, the French Revolution interrupted these plans, and the painting's whereabouts during the tumultuous years that followed remain unclear. Today, "The Loves of Paris and Helen" is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. As one of David's earlier works, it provides insight into the development of his artistic philosophy and the cultural milieu of pre-revolutionary France.
