'''Alexandre Lenoir (1761–1839)''' is a portrait by French artist Pierre Maximilien Delafontaine, depicting the notable French archaeologist and museum administrator, Alexandre Lenoir. The portrait is significant for its representation of Lenoir, who is best known for his work in preserving French art and artifacts during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution. Lenoir was the founder and administrator of the Musée des Monuments Français, an institution dedicated to safeguarding the heritage of France, particularly the medieval and Renaissance artifacts that were at risk of destruction during the revolutionary era.

Delafontaine, a painter and engraver, captured Lenoir's likeness with an attention to detail that reflects the subject's dedication to the preservation of cultural heritage. The portrait is a testament to Lenoir's legacy as a protector of the arts and an important figure in the history of French museology. The artwork serves not only as a visual biography of Lenoir but also as a historical document that encapsulates the cultural values and concerns of post-revolutionary France.

The painting is characterized by Delafontaine's neoclassical style, which was prevalent in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This style is marked by a clear and precise rendering of the subject, with an emphasis on idealized beauty and harmony, reflecting the Enlightenment ideals of reason and order. The portrait of Alexandre Lenoir is an example of Delafontaine's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the artistic documentation of significant cultural figures of his time.

In the context of art history and museology, the portrait holds a place of importance as it immortalizes the man who played a crucial role in the preservation of French art during a period when many historical artifacts were lost or destroyed. The work of Alexandre Lenoir, as captured by Delafontaine's artistic prowess, continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, offering insight into the early efforts to protect and celebrate cultural heritage.
