"Le Fils Prodigue" (The Prodigal Son) is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was known for his genre scenes and moralistic narratives that reflect the Enlightenment ideals of his time. Created in the 18th century, this work is part of a series of paintings by Greuze that depict various scenes from everyday life, often imbued with a strong sense of drama and emotional intensity.

The painting illustrates the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke, in which a young man squanders his inheritance and returns home in shame, only to be forgiven by his father. Greuze's interpretation of this theme focuses on the moment of the son's repentance and the father's compassionate reception, emphasizing themes of forgiveness, redemption, and the return to virtue.

"Le Fils Prodigue" is characterized by Greuze's skillful use of lighting, color, and composition to convey the emotional depth of the narrative. The artist's attention to detail in the depiction of facial expressions and body language enhances the storytelling and invites viewers to engage with the moral lessons of the scene.

As a prominent example of Greuze's work, "Le Fils Prodigue" reflects the artist's contribution to the development of genre painting in France and his influence on the artistic movements of his time. The painting is also notable for its didactic purpose, as Greuze sought to instruct and improve society through his art, aligning with the broader intellectual currents of the Enlightenment.

While the exact date of creation and current location of "Le Fils Prodigue" may not be well-documented, the painting remains an important work within Greuze's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 18th-century French painting.
