''The Tepidarium'' is an 1853 oil painting by French artist Théodore Chassériau, renowned for his work during the Romantic period. The painting depicts a scene within a tepidarium, a warm room used in the Roman baths where bathers would recline and prepare their bodies for the hotter environments of the caldarium or sweating-room. Chassériau's canvas captures the languid atmosphere of the tepidarium through the portrayal of a group of women, likely courtesans, lounging in various states of repose.

The work is significant for its sensual portrayal of the female form, a characteristic that has often been associated with Chassériau's oeuvre. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the nuances of flesh tones, contributes to the overall sensuousness of the painting. ''The Tepidarium'' is also notable for its architectural details, which reflect Chassériau's interest in the exotic and the historical, drawing on the rich cultural heritage of ancient Rome.

Measuring 108.5 cm × 143 cm, ''The Tepidarium'' is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France. The painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1853, where it received mixed reviews from critics, some of whom were taken aback by the overt sensuality of the subject matter. Despite this, ''The Tepidarium'' has been recognized as a masterpiece of 19th-century French art and is considered one of Chassériau's most important works. It exemplifies the artist's skill in combining the academic tradition with the more expressive and emotive qualities that would come to define the Romantic movement.
