"Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress" is a notable 18th-century oil painting by French artist Louis Jean François Lagrenée, also known as Lagrenée the Elder (1725–1805). This work is an example of the Rococo style, which was prevalent in France during the time Lagrenée was active. The painting depicts a scene from the life of Alcibiades, an influential Athenian statesman, orator, and general of the classical period.

The artwork captures a moment of intimate pleading, as Alcibiades, renowned for his beauty and charisma, is shown on his knees before his mistress, presumably seeking forgiveness or favor. The scene is imbued with the emotional and sensual overtones characteristic of Rococo art, with soft colors, delicate brushwork, and a focus on the play of light and shadow. Lagrenée's composition emphasizes the drama of the encounter, while also showcasing his skill in rendering the human form and the sumptuous textiles that adorn the figures.

Lagrenée was a respected history painter, and his works often drew on classical and mythological themes, reflecting the tastes of the French aristocracy of his time. "Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress" is a testament to the artist's mastery of the genre and his ability to convey complex narratives through his paintings. The work is also significant for its portrayal of a historical figure known for his complex personality and the various anecdotes that surrounded his life, which were popular subjects in the art and literature of the period.

The painting is part of a broader collection of Lagrenée's works that contribute to the understanding of French Rococo painting and the cultural milieu of the 18th century. As an example of Lagrenée's artistry, "Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress" offers insight into the era's aesthetic preferences and the continuing fascination with classical antiquity that influenced European art and thought well into the modern period.
