"The Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors at Fontainebleau" is a historical painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1864. The artwork is a significant example of 19th-century academic art, showcasing Gérôme's meticulous attention to detail and his fascination with Orientalism—a prevalent theme in European art of the time, characterized by the depiction of Eastern cultures.

The painting captures a grand moment in diplomatic history when a delegation from the Kingdom of Siam (present-day Thailand) was officially received at the Palace of Fontainebleau in France. This event took place in 1861 during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III and was part of Siam's efforts to establish diplomatic relations with European powers.

Gérôme's composition is notable for its elaborate representation of the ornate interiors of the palace, the sumptuous costumes of the Siamese envoys, and the array of French dignitaries and courtiers in attendance. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the rich textures and the interplay of light and shadow, which lend the scene a sense of grandeur and realism.

Measuring 39.3 x 59 inches (99.7 x 149.9 cm), the oil on canvas painting is part of the Walters Art Museum's collection in Baltimore, Maryland. "The Reception of the Siamese Ambassadors at Fontainebleau" is a testament to Gérôme's skill as a painter and his contribution to the genre of historical painting, as well as to the broader cultural exchanges between the East and the West during the 19th century.
