"Virgile lisant l'Énéide devant Auguste, Livie et Octavie" is a neoclassical painting by the French artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1865. The painting, whose title translates to "Virgil Reading the Aeneid Before Augustus, Livia, and Octavia," depicts a scene from ancient Rome in which the poet Virgil is presenting his epic poem, the Aeneid, to the Emperor Augustus and his family.

In the painting, Ingres captures a moment of intense emotional and cultural significance. Virgil, the central figure, is shown reading from a scroll, presumably a section of his magnum opus, which tells the story of the Trojan hero Aeneas and the founding of Rome, a narrative that glorified Augustus's lineage and the Roman state. The figures of Augustus, his wife Livia, and his sister Octavia are portrayed with a dignified composure, yet their expressions suggest a deep engagement with the poet's words.

Ingres, known for his meticulous technique and admiration for the art of the Renaissance and antiquity, employs a refined and polished style to convey the grandeur and solemnity of the scene. The painting's composition, with its careful arrangement of figures and attention to architectural and decorative details, reflects Ingres's commitment to classical ideals of beauty and harmony.

"Virgile lisant l'Énéide devant Auguste, Livie et Octavie" is considered an example of Ingres's late work, showcasing his lifelong fascination with historical and mythological subjects. The painting is also a testament to the enduring influence of classical literature and the ways in which artists of the 19th century sought to connect contemporary audiences with the cultural legacy of the past.

This work is held in high regard for its historical subject matter, technical execution, and the insight it provides into the cultural and political milieu of the time it depicts, as well as the period in which it was created. It remains an important piece within Ingres's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
