"A Couple with a Child Escaping from a Burning House" is a poignant oil painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his genre scenes and moralistic narratives that often depicted family life with an emotional depth. This particular work is emblematic of Greuze's style, which combines elements of the Rococo with a nascent Realism that would later influence the development of genre painting in France.

The painting captures a dramatic moment of crisis as a family is depicted in the throes of escaping from their home engulfed in flames. The composition is centered around the figures of the couple and their child, whose expressions and gestures convey a sense of urgency and despair. Greuze's skillful use of lighting and color heightens the emotional impact of the scene, with the fire's glow casting a lurid light that contrasts with the darkness of the night.

Created in the latter half of the 18th century, a period marked by social and political change leading up to the French Revolution, Greuze's work reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on emotion and humanity. The painting can be interpreted as a moral allegory, a common theme in Greuze's oeuvre, where the virtues of family bonds and parental care are underscored even amidst calamity.

"A Couple with a Child Escaping from a Burning House" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its capacity to evoke empathy from the viewer. It remains an important example of Greuze's artistic legacy and contributes to our understanding of the cultural and social milieu of 18th-century France. The painting is also significant for its narrative quality, which foreshadows the genre scenes of later artists who would explore similar themes of domestic life and emotional expression.
