"Battle Between Richard I Lionheart (1157-99) and Saladin (1137-93) in Palestine" is a historical painting by the 18th-century French artist Philip Jacques de Loutherbourg, also known as Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg. The artwork depicts a dramatized scene from the Third Crusade, showcasing a confrontation between two of the period's most iconic figures: Richard I of England, known as Richard the Lionheart, and the Muslim leader Sultan Saladin.

Philip Jacques de Loutherbourg (1740–1812) was a painter and stage designer known for his influence on Romantic landscape painting and his innovative contributions to theatrical design. His works often reflect a fascination with dramatic historical and natural events, characterized by their vivid detail and dynamic composition.

The painting captures the intensity and tumult of the Crusades, a series of religious and military campaigns waged in the medieval period, with a particular focus on the struggle for control over the Holy Land. Richard the Lionheart and Saladin were adversaries during the Third Crusade (1189–1192), with Richard leading the Christian forces and Saladin commanding the Muslim armies. Despite their rivalry, both leaders earned mutual respect for their chivalry and military prowess.

Loutherbourg's work is notable for its romanticized portrayal of the battle, emphasizing heroism and the clashing of two formidable leaders. The artist's use of color, light, and composition serves to heighten the drama and bring the historical scene to life. While the painting may not be an accurate historical record of events, it reflects the 18th-century European fascination with the exoticism and valor associated with the Crusades.

As a piece of historical art, "Battle Between Richard I Lionheart and Saladin in Palestine" offers insight into the cultural perceptions of the Crusades during Loutherbourg's time and contributes to the broader artistic canon depicting key moments in Western history. It remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, history, and mythmaking in the late 18th century.
