"Le Serment de Vargas devant le Duc d'Albe" (The Oath of Vargas before the Duke of Alba) is a historical painting by the Belgian artist Louis Gallait, created in the 19th century. Louis Gallait (1810–1887) was a renowned painter whose works often depicted dramatic historical scenes, and he was particularly celebrated for his skillful representation of emotion and his attention to historical accuracy.

The painting captures a pivotal moment involving Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, the third Duke of Alba, a prominent figure in the service of King Philip II of Spain. The Duke of Alba was known for his role in the Spanish repression of the Dutch Revolt in the latter half of the 16th century. The scene likely portrays a dramatic encounter during this turbulent period, with Vargas, presumably a Spanish officer or nobleman, taking an oath in the presence of the Duke. The work reflects the tension and gravity of the political and military struggles of the time.

Gallait's painting is characterized by its vivid portrayal of the figures, the intricate interplay of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the expressions and gestures of the characters. The artist's use of color and composition heightens the drama of the scene, drawing the viewer into the historical narrative.

As a historical painter, Gallait was part of the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotion and individualism as well as glorification of the past. His works were influential in shaping the visual culture of his time and contributed to the romanticized view of history prevalent in 19th-century European art.

"Le Serment de Vargas devant le Duc d'Albe" is an example of Gallait's mastery in historical painting and serves as a testament to his reputation as one of Belgium's leading artists of the period. The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its depiction of a historical event that reflects the complex power dynamics and conflicts of 16th-century Europe.
