"The Family of Darius before Alexander" is a renowned oil painting by the 16th-century Venetian artist Paolo Veronese (1528–1588), whose birth name was Paolo Caliari. Created in 1565-1570, this masterpiece is celebrated for its intricate depiction of a historical event blended with Veronese's characteristic opulence and attention to detail. The painting is housed in the National Gallery, London, and remains a significant work in the study of Renaissance art, particularly for its representation of Venetian colorism and grandeur.

The artwork illustrates the moment from the life of Alexander the Great, as recounted by the historian Quintus Curtius Rufus, when the family of the Persian king Darius III, mistakenly believing Alexander to be a harsh conqueror, prostrates themselves before him after the Battle of Issus in 333 BC. In a display of magnanimity, Alexander reassures them of their safety and honors them as royal guests. Veronese's rendition is noted for its emotional depth, capturing the fear, relief, and gratitude of Darius's family, alongside the nobility and compassion of Alexander.

Spanning over 2.36 meters in height and 4.76 meters in width, the canvas is a monumental testament to Veronese's mastery of large-scale compositions and his ability to weave complex narratives into visually stunning tableaux. The painting is distinguished by its vibrant color palette, meticulous detail, and the sumptuous attire of its figures, reflecting the wealth and sophistication of 16th-century Venice. Through "The Family of Darius before Alexander," Veronese not only narrates a historical episode but also showcases the ideals of virtue and clemency, themes that resonated with the Renaissance audience and continue to captivate viewers today.
