"L'Aveugle Trompé" (The Deceived Blind Man) is a genre painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725–1805), who was renowned for his depictions of domestic and sentimental scenes that often carried a moral message. Created in 1777, this work exemplifies Greuze's skill in portraying complex emotional narratives and his interest in the moralizing themes that were popular during the Enlightenment period.

The painting depicts a poignant scene in which an elderly blind man appears to be playing a violin while a young boy, presumably his grandson, slyly steals a piece of food from the man's plate. The scene is rich with emotional content, showcasing Greuze's ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and interaction. The old man's trusting face, turned towards the sound of his own music, contrasts with the mischievous expression of the boy, creating a narrative that speaks to themes of innocence, deception, and the vulnerability of the disadvantaged.

"L'Aveugle Trompé" is considered one of Greuze's significant contributions to 18th-century French painting, as it reflects the artist's mastery of genre painting—a form that depicts scenes of everyday life—and his ability to imbue these scenes with a sense of moral complexity. The painting is also notable for its fine execution, attention to detail, and the effective use of lighting to highlight the emotional center of the composition.

As a representative of Greuze's work, "L'Aveugle Trompé" has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its social commentary. The painting is often analyzed within the context of Greuze's broader oeuvre, which includes similarly themed works that explore the dynamics of family life and the human condition. Through his art, Greuze sought to elicit empathy from the viewer, encouraging a reflective engagement with the virtues and vices depicted in his scenes.

Today, "L'Aveugle Trompé" is held in the collection of the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France, where it continues to be appreciated for its narrative depth and its place within the history of French art. The painting remains an important example of Greuze's narrative style and his contribution to the genre painting tradition, offering insight into the cultural and artistic values of the Enlightenment era.
