"Le Consul Popilius Lenas Entourant d'un Cercle le Roi Antiochus" is a notable historical painting by the French artist Louis Lagrenée, also known as Louis Jean François Lagrenée, who was active during the 18th century. The painting, whose title translates to "The Consul Popilius Laenas Drawing a Circle around King Antiochus," depicts a dramatic scene from a significant event in Roman and Hellenistic history.

The artwork captures the moment when the Roman consul Gaius Popillius Laenas confronted King Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire in 168 BC. According to historical accounts, during the Syrian Wars, Popillius Laenas delivered an ultimatum to Antiochus, demanding that he withdraw his forces from Egypt and Cyprus or face war with Rome. When Antiochus requested time to consider, Popillius drew a circle in the sand around the king with his staff and insisted that he give his answer before stepping out of it. This bold diplomatic gesture forced Antiochus to comply with Rome's demands, highlighting the power and reach of the Roman Republic during that era.

Lagrenée's painting is a masterful representation of this tense encounter, showcasing his skill in composition, the use of light and shadow, and the portrayal of human emotion. The work is emblematic of the Neoclassical style that Lagrenée was known for, reflecting the era's interest in classical antiquity and its moral and political lessons.

As a prominent artist of his time, Louis Lagrenée was a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and was appointed as the director of the French Academy in Rome. His works were highly regarded for their clarity, harmonious color palette, and the elegance of their figures. "Le Consul Popilius Lenas Entourant d'un Cercle le Roi Antiochus" stands as a significant example of his historical paintings and contributes to our understanding of 18th-century French art and its engagement with classical themes.
