"Stratonice et Antiochus" is a painting by the renowned French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Completed in 1840, the artwork depicts a poignant moment from ancient history, illustrating the tale of Antiochus I Soter, the son of Seleucus I Nicator, and his stepmother Stratonice. The story, originating from Plutarch and other ancient sources, tells of Antiochus's secret love for Stratonice, which led him to fall gravely ill. The court physician, Erasistratus, discovered the cause of Antiochus's ailment and revealed it to Seleucus. In a gesture of compassion and sacrifice, Seleucus gave Stratonice to his son in marriage, thus saving Antiochus's life.

Ingres's painting captures the emotional intensity of this narrative, focusing on the dramatic revelation and the subsequent resolution. The composition is characterized by Ingres's meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of form, typical of his Neoclassical style. The figures are rendered with clarity and precision, emphasizing the psychological depth and emotional complexity of the scene.

The painting is notable for its use of color and light, which Ingres employs to enhance the drama and highlight the central characters. The expressions and gestures of the figures convey a sense of tension and resolution, drawing the viewer into the historical and emotional context of the story.

Ingres's work on "Stratonice et Antiochus" reflects his interest in historical and mythological subjects, as well as his ability to convey complex human emotions through art. The painting is a testament to his skill in combining narrative depth with visual elegance, making it a significant piece in his oeuvre.

Today, "Stratonice et Antiochus" is housed in the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
