Le Drapeau Blanc, translated as The White Flag, is a notable painting by the French artist John Lewis Brown, who was renowned for his depictions of military scenes, equestrian subjects, and hunting scenes. Brown, born in Bordeaux in 1829 to a Scottish family, developed a distinctive style that combined the dynamism of battle scenes with a keen attention to detail and a subtle use of color. His works often reflect the tumultuous periods of the 19th century, capturing the essence of both the Napoleonic Wars and the Franco-Prussian War.

Le Drapeau Blanc is emblematic of Brown's ability to convey the drama and pathos of war. The painting portrays a poignant moment of surrender, with a soldier holding a white flag, symbolizing a plea for ceasefire or truce. The composition is marked by its emotional intensity and the meticulous rendering of the figures, which is characteristic of Brown's oeuvre. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the soldier and the symbolic white flag.

Brown's technique in Le Drapeau Blanc reflects his academic training and his exposure to the works of great masters. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was influenced by the Romantic movement, which is evident in the emotional depth and the dynamic composition of his works. The painting not only serves as a historical document but also as a commentary on the futility and human cost of war.

Le Drapeau Blanc has been exhibited in various galleries and has been part of several important collections, underscoring its significance in Brown's body of work. The painting continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its powerful depiction of a moment of humanity amidst the chaos of war.
