"Antiochos et Stratonice" is an 18th-century painting by French artist Nicolas-André Monsiau (1754–1837). The artwork, which is a fine example of the Neoclassical style, depicts a historical scene drawn from the story of Antiochus I Soter of the Seleucid Empire and his stepmother Stratonice, who became his wife. The tale, which has been a popular subject for artists, illustrates the theme of love and sacrifice, as Antiochus falls desperately ill due to his forbidden love for Stratonice, only to be cured when his father, King Seleucus I, discerns the cause of his ailment and magnanimously abdicates his marriage in favor of his son's happiness.

Monsiau's rendition of this dramatic episode is characterized by its classical composition, attention to historical detail, and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and gestures. The painting is a testament to Monsiau's skill in historical painting, a genre for which he was particularly esteemed in his time. "Antiochos et Stratonice" showcases the artist's ability to blend historical narrative with the aesthetic principles of Neoclassicism, emphasizing rationality, order, and the moral dimensions of human experience.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and historical implications, reflecting the Enlightenment's interest in classical antiquity and the era's penchant for using historical and mythological subjects to explore contemporary ideas and values. As such, "Antiochos et Stratonice" is an important work within Monsiau's oeuvre and offers insight into the broader artistic and intellectual currents of late 18th-century France.

Nicolas-André Monsiau's contributions to French art were recognized in his lifetime, and he was admitted to the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1787. His works, including "Antiochos et Stratonice," continue to be studied and appreciated for their embodiment of Neoclassical aesthetics and their reflection of the cultural narratives of their time.
