"Molière in the Role of Caesar in 'The Death of Pompey'" is a notable oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Pierre Mignard. Created in 1656, the artwork captures the famous playwright and actor Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, in the role of Julius Caesar from the tragedy "La Mort de Pompée" written by Pierre Corneille. This painting is significant as it immortalizes Molière, one of the greatest masters of comedy in Western literature, in a rare tragic role.

The painting showcases Molière's versatility as an actor, departing from his usual comedic persona to embody the historical figure of Caesar with a dramatic intensity. Mignard's work is a testament to the close relationship between the visual arts and the theatrical world in 17th-century France, where the portrayal of actors in their roles was a popular subject among artists and patrons alike.

His representation of Molière in this work is no exception, as it provides a glimpse into the theatrical culture of the period and the prominence of Molière's influence on French drama.
