"Philippides Annonçant la Victoire de Marathon" (Philippides Announcing the Victory of Marathon) is a neoclassical painting by French artist Jérôme-Martin Langlois, created in 1834. The painting depicts the historical event following the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, where the Athenian messenger Philippides (also known as Pheidippides) is said to have run from the battlefield near the town of Marathon to Athens to bring news of the Greek victory over the Persians.

Langlois, a student of the renowned Jacques-Louis David, was known for his adherence to the neoclassical style, which emphasized clarity of form, sober colors, and the idealization of the human body. In this work, Langlois captures the drama and the physical exertion of Philippides' legendary run, which later inspired the modern marathon race. The painting showcases Langlois' skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey movement and emotion, as Philippides' exhausted yet triumphant form dominates the composition.

The artwork reflects the period's fascination with classical antiquity and the valorization of heroic deeds, which were seen as exemplars of civic virtue and patriotism. "Philippides Annonçant la Victoire de Marathon" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and historical resonance, encapsulating the spirit of the era in which it was created and the enduring legacy of ancient Greek history.

The painting is part of the collection at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical representation and neoclassical aesthetic. It stands as a testament to Langlois' contribution to French art and the neoclassical movement of the early 19th century.
