''Mazeppa'' is an oil painting by the influential French artist Théodore Géricault, completed circa 1820. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from the life of Ivan Mazeppa, the legendary Ukrainian hetman, based on the narrative poem by Lord Byron, ''Mazeppa'', which was published in 1819. Géricault, known for his powerful and romantic depictions of dynamic scenes, captures the moment when Mazeppa is bound naked to a wild horse as a punishment for an illicit love affair.

The work is a prime example of the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotion, individualism, and the glorification of the past and nature. Géricault's fascination with the sublime and the portrayal of human struggle against overwhelming forces is evident in the dynamic composition and the raw emotional intensity of the subject. The painting's vigorous brushwork and dramatic chiaroscuro enhance the sense of movement and tension, as Mazeppa and the horse are depicted amidst a turbulent landscape, which seems to echo the chaos of the protagonist's ordeal.

''Mazeppa'' by Géricault is part of a broader cultural interest in the character of Mazeppa during the 19th century, which saw various artistic representations across different media, including paintings, literature, and later, cinema. The painting not only reflects Géricault's preoccupation with themes of heroism and human endurance but also contributes to the Romantic era's exploration of exotic and historical narratives. ''Mazeppa'' remains a significant work within Géricault's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic and thematic contributions to the Romantic movement in art.
