"La Rencontre D'Alexandre Et Diogene" is a notable work by the French Baroque sculptor and painter Pierre Puget (1620–1694). Created in the latter part of the 17th century, this piece exemplifies Puget's mastery in capturing dynamic human expressions and intricate details, hallmarks of the Baroque style. The work depicts the legendary encounter between Alexander the Great and the Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, a meeting that has been a popular subject in art and literature due to its profound philosophical implications.

In the narrative, Alexander, having heard of Diogenes' wisdom, visits the philosopher who is known for his ascetic lifestyle and disdain for material wealth. According to the legend, Alexander finds Diogenes relaxing in a tub and offers to grant him any wish. Diogenes famously replies, "Stand out of my sunlight," a response that underscores his belief in the sufficiency of simple pleasures and the futility of worldly power.

Puget's rendition of this encounter is celebrated for its dramatic composition and emotional intensity. The sculpture captures the moment of interaction between the two figures, with Alexander portrayed in a posture of regal authority and Diogenes in a relaxed, almost dismissive pose. The contrast between the opulence of Alexander's attire and the simplicity of Diogenes' surroundings highlights the philosophical dichotomy between the two characters.

The work is also notable for its technical execution. Puget's skillful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to render textures—from the polished armor of Alexander to the rough surface of Diogenes' tub—demonstrate his exceptional craftsmanship. "La Rencontre D'Alexandre Et Diogene" remains an important piece in the study of Baroque sculpture, reflecting the era's fascination with classical themes and its emphasis on emotional expression and dramatic contrasts.
