"John Paul Jones and Benjamin Franklin at the Court of Louis XVI" is a historical painting by Jean-Leon Gerome Ferris, an American painter best known for his series of 78 scenes from American history, entitled "The Pageant of a Nation," the largest series of American historical paintings by a single artist. Ferris (1863–1930) was a student of the French historical painter Jean-Léon Gérôme and often included historical figures in his works, aiming to capture pivotal moments in American history.

This particular painting depicts a significant event during the American Revolutionary War, where John Paul Jones, a Scottish American sailor and the United States' first well-known naval commander, and Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, are presented at the court of King Louis XVI of France. The scene is meant to represent the diplomatic efforts of the Americans to secure French support against the British. Franklin, known for his diplomacy, played a crucial role in negotiating the Franco-American alliance which was vital for the eventual American victory.

The painting is part of Ferris's attempt to romanticize the American past, and like many of his works, it is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail and a strong narrative element. However, Ferris's historical paintings have been criticized for their lack of historical accuracy and for including anachronistic details. Despite this, his works have been widely reproduced and have significantly influenced the popular visual conception of American history.

The painting "John Paul Jones and Benjamin Franklin at the Court of Louis XVI" is an example of Ferris's dedication to depicting the American spirit and the pivotal moments that shaped the nation's history. It serves as a visual representation of the alliance between France and the United States during the Revolutionary War, a key factor in the struggle for American independence.
