"Coresus Sacrificing Himself to Save Callirhoe" is a renowned painting completed in 1765 by the French Rococo artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard. The artwork is a vivid representation of a dramatic scene from ancient Greek mythology, where the priest Coresus is depicted in the act of self-sacrifice to save his beloved Callirhoe, who was required to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Diana. Fragonard's painting captures the climactic moment with intense emotion and dynamic composition, characteristic of the Rococo style's emphasis on grandeur, movement, and sensuality.

The painting stands as a testament to Fragonard's mastery of color and brushwork, with a palette that enhances the theatricality of the scene. The artist's use of light and shadow, combined with the fluidity of his brushstrokes, creates a sense of immediacy and drama. This work is often cited as an example of Fragonard's skill in conveying narrative and emotional intensity, as well as his ability to blend classical themes with the ornate elegance of the Rococo aesthetic.

Measuring an impressive 309 cm by 400 cm, the large-scale oil on canvas was originally commissioned for the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture's grand salon. It reflects the 18th-century taste for historical and mythological subjects, which were used to demonstrate an artist's skill in composition and storytelling. "Coresus Sacrificing Himself to Save Callirhoe" is not only a significant work in Fragonard's oeuvre but also an important piece in the history of French painting, encapsulating the grandeur and emotional depth that define the Rococo period.

Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains a key example of the transition from Rococo to Neoclassicism, marking a period in art history where the playful and decorative qualities of the former began to give way to the more serious and moralizing themes of the latter.
