"Opening of the Estates General at Versailles on 5th May 1789, 1839" is a significant historical painting by the French artist Louis Charles Auguste Couder, completed in 1839. The artwork captures a pivotal moment in French history: the opening session of the Estates General at the Palace of Versailles on May 5, 1789. This event marked the beginning of a period of political upheaval and social change that would eventually lead to the French Revolution.

The painting is a large-scale work that meticulously depicts the grandiose setting of the meeting, with a multitude of figures representing the three estates of French society: the clergy (First Estate), the nobility (Second Estate), and the commoners (Third Estate). Couder's attention to detail not only reflects the fashion and personalities of the time but also the tensions and dynamics between the different social groups as they convened to address France's financial crisis and demand reforms.

Louis Charles Auguste Couder, born in 1789—the same year as the Estates General convened—was a prominent history painter whose works often focused on significant events in French history. His painting of the Estates General is notable for its historical accuracy and dramatic representation of the event that would lead to the end of the Ancien Régime and the rise of a new political and social order in France.

The painting is not only an important work of art but also serves as a visual document that helps historians and the public understand the complexities and atmosphere of this critical juncture. It is housed in the Palace of Versailles, the very location where the depicted scene took place, adding to its historical resonance and significance as a cultural artifact.
