"Antigone" by Lord Frederick Leighton is a significant work of art that embodies the aesthetic and thematic interests of the Victorian Neoclassicism movement. Created by the British artist Frederick Leighton (1830–1896), who was a leading figure in the Victorian art world and the president of the Royal Academy, this painting reflects Leighton's fascination with classical themes, mythology, and literature. Leighton's "Antigone" is inspired by the ancient Greek tragedy written by Sophocles, focusing on the character Antigone, who defies the king's order to leave her brother unburied as a punishment for his betrayal.

Leighton's portrayal of Antigone is a masterful example of his ability to blend classical subject matter with the technical precision and emotional depth characteristic of his work. The painting is noted for its meticulous attention to detail, the use of rich, vibrant colors, and the dramatic intensity of the scene depicted. Antigone is shown in a moment of solemn determination, capturing the essence of her tragic defiance and moral strength. Leighton's work is emblematic of the Victorian era's fascination with classical antiquity, exploring themes of duty, sacrifice, and the conflict between individual conscience and state law.

As a prominent work within Leighton's oeuvre, "Antigone" has been the subject of scholarly analysis and critique, contributing to discussions on the interpretation of classical themes in Victorian art, the role of women in ancient narratives, and the artistic expression of moral and ethical dilemmas. The painting is a testament to Leighton's skill as an artist and his contribution to the Victorian Neoclassical movement, showcasing his ability to breathe new life into ancient stories and present them in a manner that resonated with the contemporary audiences of his time.
