"The Sacred Fire: Two Vestal Virgins Tending the Hearth" is a notable oil painting by French artist Jean Raoux (1677–1734), dating from the early 18th century. Raoux, a painter from Montpellier who achieved recognition in Paris, was known for his classical and mythological subjects, often imbued with a sense of grace and elegance typical of the French Rococo period. This painting exemplifies Raoux's adeptness at capturing the serene and solemn duties of the Vestal Virgins, priestesses in ancient Rome who were tasked with maintaining the sacred fire within the Temple of Vesta. The artwork is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering the delicate interplay of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey the religious and cultural significance of the Vestals' role.

In "The Sacred Fire," Raoux depicts two Vestal Virgins engaged in their sacred duty, with one tending to the flame and the other observing, ensuring the fire remains alight, as it was believed that the fire's continuity was vital for the security and enduring prosperity of Rome. The figures are rendered with a softness and reverence that highlight their purity and dedication. The composition, with its careful attention to the drapery of the Vestals' robes and the architectural details of the hearth, reflects the neoclassical influences of the time, while also showcasing Raoux's own artistic sensibilities.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural representation of the Vestal Virgins, who were central to the religious life of ancient Rome. Through this work, Raoux contributes to the visual legacy of this period, offering viewers a glimpse into the past and the rituals that defined it. "The Sacred Fire: Two Vestal Virgins Tending the Hearth" remains an important piece within Raoux's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its historical and artistic value.
