"Duel After The Masquerade" is a painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, created in 1857. This work is a notable example of Gérôme's historical genre paintings, which often depicted dramatic scenes and narratives. The painting presents a tense and somber moment immediately following a duel, a subject that reflects the romantic fascination with honor, violence, and death prevalent in the 19th century.

The composition of "Duel After The Masquerade" is striking, featuring two figures in the foreground: one lies mortally wounded on the snowy ground, while the other, the victor, stands over him. The figures are dressed in elaborate costumes, suggesting the duel took place after a masquerade ball, a common social event of the period. The contrast between the festive attire and the grim reality of the duel's outcome adds a layer of irony and commentary on the nature of social facades and the dark undercurrents of human behavior.

Gérôme's attention to detail and his ability to capture the psychological tension of the moment are evident in this work. The painting's meticulous execution and the artist's use of chiaroscuro to enhance the dramatic effect are characteristic of his style. "Duel After The Masquerade" is often cited as an example of Gérôme's skill in storytelling through visual means and his contribution to the Academic art movement.

The painting is part of the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland, and continues to be a subject of interest for scholars studying French academic painting and the cultural history of dueling. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of historical detail, narrative intrigue, and the exploration of themes such as honor, violence, and the consequences of societal rituals.
