"La Première Discorde (Cain and Abel)" is a notable painting by the French academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1876. Bouguereau, renowned for his traditionalist style, was a dominant figure in French academic painting during the second half of the 19th century. This work, whose title translates to "The First Discord," depicts the biblical story of Cain and Abel, exploring the themes of jealousy, anger, and the tragic consequences of fraternal rivalry.

In the painting, Bouguereau captures the moment of escalating tension between the two brothers, Cain and Abel, from the Book of Genesis. Abel's offering has been accepted by God, while Cain's has been rejected, sowing the seeds of envy and wrath that would lead to the first murder in Judeo-Christian tradition. Bouguereau's mastery of form and his use of chiaroscuro intensify the emotional impact of the scene, with the figures dramatically illuminated against a dark, brooding background.

The composition is characteristic of Bouguereau's approach to religious and mythological subjects, where he combined a polished technique, idealized figures, and a poignant narrative. "La Première Discorde" is an example of Bouguereau's skill in conveying complex human emotions and interactions, while also reflecting the academic art standards of his time, which favored historical and religious themes executed with precision and clarity.

As with many of Bouguereau's works, "La Première Discorde" was likely exhibited in the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The painting contributes to the understanding of Bouguereau's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French academic art, offering insight into the era's artistic preferences and the enduring appeal of biblical narratives in Western art.
