''The 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, this monumental work measures approximately 3.3 by 4.25 meters and is considered one of David's masterpieces, exemplifying the neoclassical aesthetic that sought to revive the virtues of ancient Roman art and culture.

The painting depicts a scene from a Roman legend recounted by Livy, in which the Horatii brothers swear an oath to their father to fight to the death against the Curiatii, a trio of brothers from the rival city of Alba Longa, to settle a dispute and avoid a full-scale war. The composition is stark and geometric, with the three brothers on the left, their father in the center holding their swords, and the women of the family on the right, visibly distraught at the prospect of the impending conflict, which could result in familial loss regardless of the outcome.

David's ''The Oath of the Horatii'' is celebrated for its rigorous linearity, moral intensity, and the way it encapsulates Enlightenment ideals, including patriotism, sacrifice, and stoic resolve. The painting's political undertones and its emphasis on civic duty resonated with the pre-revolutionary mood in France and helped establish David as the preeminent painter of the era. The work's influence extended beyond the arts, as it became emblematic of revolutionary fervor and the aesthetic shift towards neoclassicism, which dominated European art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
