"Orestes and Pylades Disputing at the Altar" is a notable painting by Dutch artist Pieter Pietersz. Lastman in 1614. The artwork is recognized for its detailed depiction of the moment in Greek mythology when cousins Orestes and Pylades stood in dispute before the sacrificial altar of Taur. The painting largely reflects Lastman's reputation as a prominent narrative painter, integrating multiple layers of storytelling into his work. Each character's emotional state is vividly rendered, ensuring viewers grasp the intense drama unfolding.

In the painting, Lastman captures a complex situation described in Euripides' play "Iphigenia in Tauris." Orestes and Pylades have been captured and taken to the Temple of Artemis, where Iphigenia serves as a priestess. Orestes and Pylades dispute over who will be sacrificed, with each hoping to spare the other. The painting's narrative structure reveals Lastman's profound sensitivity to the commingling of friendship, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas.

Lastman's style, as seen in "Orestes and Pylades Disputing at the Altar," is marked by his juxtaposition of realistically rendered human figures with allegorical and mythological themes. His approach hugely influenced other Dutch artists, including the young Rembrandt van Rijn, who was among Lastman's students.

The artwork's authenticity and provenance have been confirmed by several art historians, establishing its importance in Lastman's oeuvre and Dutch painting of the early 17th century. The painting is held in the collection of the National Gallery, London.
