"An Officer of the Chasseurs Commanding a Charge" is a renowned oil painting by the French artist Théodore Géricault, completed in 1812. This work is considered one of Géricault's early masterpieces and exemplifies his fascination with the Romantic themes of heroism and the sublime, as well as his interest in the contemporary events of his time, notably the Napoleonic Wars.

The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a cavalry officer, identified as a member of the elite Chasseurs à Cheval of the Imperial Guard, leading a charge. The dynamic composition and the vigorous brushwork capture the intensity and movement of the battlefield. Géricault's use of chiaroscuro and his focus on the physical and emotional strain of the soldiers reflect the influence of the Old Masters, as well as the modern sensibility of his era.

Measuring 349 cm × 266 cm (137.4 in × 104.7 in), the painting is significant for its monumental scale, which adds to its impact and grandeur. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, where it continues to be an important work in the collection of 19th-century French art.

"An Officer of the Chasseurs Commanding a Charge" is often discussed in the context of Géricault's career as a pivotal work that showcases his technical skill and thematic concerns. It also prefigures the artist's later preoccupation with the depiction of human struggle and suffering, most famously realized in his iconic work "The Raft of the Medusa" (1818-1819).

As a historical document, the painting provides insight into the military attire and tactics of the Napoleonic era, while as a work of art, it stands as a testament to Géricault's ability to convey the fervor and turmoil of war through his expressive and potent visual language.
