"The Excommunication of Robert the Pious in 998, 1875" is a historical painting by French artist Jean-Paul Laurens. Completed in 1875, the work is a dramatic representation of a significant event in medieval European history, depicting the moment when King Robert II of France, known as Robert the Pious, was excommunicated by Pope Gregory V. Laurens, a painter and sculptor associated with the academic art movement, was known for his predilection for historical subjects, often imbued with a sense of drama and moral complexity.

The painting captures the tension and solemnity of the excommunication ceremony. It portrays the ecclesiastical authorities, led by the pope, performing the ritual of excommunication against the kneeling monarch, who is shown in a posture of humility and penitence. The artwork reflects the conflict between secular and religious powers that was a recurring theme in European history. Laurens' meticulous attention to historical detail is evident in the costumes, architecture, and liturgical objects, which contribute to the painting's evocative atmosphere and its function as a visual narrative of the past.

The painting is an example of the 19th-century French academic art tradition, which emphasized classical techniques, historical and religious themes, and a polished finish.
