"La Bataille d'Eylau" is a monumental painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in 1808. The artwork, which measures an impressive 5.43 by 7.78 meters, is a vivid historical depiction of the Battle of Eylau, a brutal engagement fought between Napoleon's Grande Armée and Russian forces on February 7–8, 1807, during the War of the Fourth Coalition. The painting is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

Gros, a student of Jacques-Louis David and a prominent painter of the Napoleonic era, was known for his grand historical and battle scenes that often glorified Napoleon's military campaigns. In "La Bataille d'Eylau," he captures the aftermath of the battle, focusing on the figure of Napoleon as he visits the battlefield strewn with the dead and wounded. The composition is dramatic and theatrical, with Napoleon portrayed as a compassionate leader, a theme that resonated with the propaganda of the time, aimed at bolstering the Emperor's image.

The painting is notable for its realistic portrayal of the horrors of war, a departure from the glorified depictions of battle common in earlier art. Gros's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the emotional impact of the scene, with the bleak, wintry landscape serving as a backdrop to the human suffering. The work is a prime example of the Romantic spirit infusing history painting, and it played a significant role in the development of the genre.

"La Bataille d'Eylau" was commissioned by Napoleon himself as part of his efforts to document and celebrate his military achievements. The painting was exhibited at the 1808 Salon to great acclaim and contributed to Gros's reputation as a master of battle scenes. It remains an important work in the study of French painting and the representation of war in art, reflecting both the grandeur and the grim reality of the Napoleonic era.
