"The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" is a notable painting by the French artist Joseph-Marie Vien, created in 1762. This work is an exemplar of the neoclassical style that emerged in the mid-18th century as a reaction against the ornate Rococo aesthetic. Vien, who is often considered a forerunner to the more famous neoclassicist Jacques-Louis David, was instrumental in this stylistic shift. The painting depicts the mythological story of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, who was to be sacrificed to appease the goddess Artemis, as recounted in various ancient Greek texts, including the works of Euripides.

In Vien's interpretation, the painting captures the dramatic moment prior to the sacrifice, showcasing the emotional tension and moral dilemma faced by the characters involved. The artist's use of clear lines, subdued palette, and careful composition reflects the neoclassical emphasis on harmony, simplicity, and reference to classical antiquity. "The Sacrifice of Iphigenia" not only embodies the aesthetic principles of neoclassicism but also conveys the Enlightenment's interest in humanism and rationality.

The painting is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it marks a transition in French art and provides insight into the cultural and intellectual currents of the time. It has been displayed in various art exhibitions and is part of the collection of a notable museum, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of European art and the enduring influence of classical themes in Western culture.
