"Le Conseil des Rats" is a renowned painting by the French artist Philibert Léon Couturier, created in 1842. This work is an oil on canvas and is known for its satirical portrayal of a fable by Jean de La Fontaine, "Le Conseil tenu par les Rats" (The Council Held by the Rats), which itself is an adaptation of the ancient fable "The Mice in Council." Couturier's painting captures the moment when the rats, having gathered to discuss the threat posed by a cat, contemplate the proposal of hanging a bell around the cat's neck to forewarn them of its approach.

The painting stands out for its anthropomorphic depiction of the rats, imbuing them with human-like expressions and postures that reflect the gravity of their council. Couturier's attention to detail and his ability to convey the narrative through visual artistry have made "Le Conseil des Rats" a significant piece in the study of 19th-century French painting. The artwork is often analyzed for its political allegory and social commentary, as it was created during a period of political unrest in France, which saw the rise and fall of different regimes.

Philibert Léon Couturier (1823–1901) was a French artist known for his genre scenes, historical paintings, and animal depictions. His work often contained moral or satirical messages, and "Le Conseil des Rats" is a prime example of his skill in combining humor with a deeper critique of society. The painting is not only a reflection of Couturier's artistic talents but also an illustration of the broader cultural and political milieu of his time.

Today, "Le Conseil des Rats" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its place within the canon of French art history. It continues to be studied and exhibited as an important work that bridges the worlds of literature and visual arts, offering insight into the era's cultural dynamics and the enduring appeal of fable-based allegories in art.
