''Oedipe à Colone'' is a neoclassical painting by French artist Jean-François Pierre Peyron, completed in 1788. The artwork is a representation of a scene from Sophocles' tragedy ''Oedipus at Colonus'', the second installment in the Theban plays, which also include ''Oedipus Rex'' and ''Antigone''. Peyron, known for his classical and historical subjects, captures the moment when the blind and exiled Oedipus arrives at the town of Colonus accompanied by his daughter Antigone.

The painting is a testament to the neoclassical movement's emphasis on clarity, order, and the use of subjects from classical antiquity. In ''Oedipe à Colone'', Peyron utilizes a clear composition and a subdued palette to convey the gravity and pathos of the scene. The figures are depicted with an idealized beauty and stoicism that are characteristic of neoclassical aesthetics. Oedipus, at the center of the composition, is portrayed as a tragic figure, his plight underscored by his physical blindness and the loyalty of Antigone.

Jean-François Pierre Peyron was an influential figure in the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism in French art. His works, including ''Oedipe à Colone'', played a significant role in the development of the neoclassical style, which sought to emulate the arts of ancient Greece and Rome. The painting reflects the Enlightenment ideals of reason and morality, as well as the period's fascination with the ancient world.

''Oedipe à Colone'' was well-received in its time and contributed to Peyron's reputation as a leading painter of his era. The artwork is often analyzed within the context of the political and cultural shifts of late 18th-century France, as the nation stood on the brink of revolution. Today, the painting is recognized for its historical significance and its role in the evolution of French art.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it remains on display, allowing viewers to appreciate Peyron's contribution to the neoclassical movement and the enduring legacy of Sophocles' tragic figure, Oedipus.
