"The Battle of Centaurs and Lapiths at Hippodamia's Wedding" is a 1667 painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Karel Dujardin. This artwork depicts the mythological battle between the Centaurs and the Lapiths, which erupted during the wedding feast of Pirithous, the king of the Lapiths, and his bride Hippodamia. The Centaurs, who were half-man and half-horse creatures, were invited guests but became drunk and attempted to abduct the bride along with other women, leading to a violent conflict.

Dujardin, known for his Italianate landscapes, genre scenes, and history paintings, brings to life this dramatic episode from Greek mythology with a dynamic composition that captures the chaos and ferocity of the battle. The painting is characterized by its vigorous action, expressive figures, and the artist's skillful use of light and shadow to enhance the drama of the scene.

As a work of art from the 17th century, "The Battle of Centaurs and Lapiths at Hippodamia's Wedding" reflects the Baroque era's fascination with classical antiquity and its penchant for depicting scenes of high drama and emotion. Dujardin's interpretation of the mythological subject showcases his ability to translate narrative into visual form, making the painting an important example of his historical and mythological oeuvre.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its representation of the themes of chaos versus order and the struggle between civilization and barbarism, which were common in the art and literature of the period. Today, the work is appreciated for its historical value and as a testament to Dujardin's versatility and talent as an artist of the Dutch Golden Age.
