"Le Retour de Marcus Sextus" (The Return of Marcus Sextus) is a neoclassical painting by French artist Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin, completed in 1799. The painting is renowned for its poignant depiction of a Roman general, Marcus Sextus, returning to his home after a long absence due to war, only to find personal tragedy. The artwork is a prime example of the emotional intensity and psychological depth characteristic of Guérin's work, which often explored themes of loss, sorrow, and the human condition.

The painting presents a dramatic scene where Marcus Sextus, cloaked in a red mantle, is portrayed in a moment of profound grief as he discovers the death of his wife. His daughter, dressed in white, clings to him in a gesture of both comfort and despair. The somber color palette, the use of chiaroscuro, and the careful attention to the expressions of the characters enhance the emotional impact of the scene. Guérin's composition, with its classical references and theatrical staging, reflects the influence of his mentor, Jacques-Louis David, while also showcasing his own unique artistic voice.

"Le Retour de Marcus Sextus" was exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1799, where it received critical acclaim for its evocative storytelling and technical mastery. The painting is often discussed in the context of the political and social upheavals of post-revolutionary France, as it resonates with the experiences of loss and displacement felt by many during this tumultuous period. Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Musée du Louvre in Paris and continues to be studied as an important work in the history of French neoclassical painting.
