Le Départ de Regulus is a significant historical painting by the Belgian artist Louis Gallait, completed in 1839. This masterpiece is a striking representation of the Roman general and statesman Marcus Atilius Regulus, who is renowned for his stoic adherence to duty and honor. Gallait's work captures the poignant moment when Regulus, having been captured by the Carthaginians during the First Punic War, chooses to return to Carthage to face certain death rather than break his word and remain in Rome.

The painting is celebrated for its dramatic composition and emotional depth, reflecting the Romantic era's fascination with heroic and tragic historical figures. Gallait employs a rich palette and meticulous attention to detail to bring the scene to life, emphasizing the tension and sorrow of the moment. The figures in the painting are rendered with a high degree of realism, showcasing Gallait's skill in depicting human emotion and the physicality of the human form.

Le Départ de Regulus was first exhibited at the Brussels Salon in 1839, where it received widespread acclaim and established Gallait as a leading figure in the Belgian art scene. The painting's success was instrumental in Gallait's subsequent career, leading to numerous commissions and solidifying his reputation as a master of historical painting.

The work is housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels, where it continues to be a highlight of the museum's collection. Le Départ de Regulus not only exemplifies Gallait's artistic prowess but also serves as a powerful reminder of the timeless themes of honor, sacrifice, and the human condition.
