"The Conquest of the Air" (French: "La Conquête de l'Air") is a painting by the French Cubist artist Roger de La Fresnaye. Created in 1913, this work is considered one of de La Fresnaye's most significant contributions to the Cubist movement, which revolutionized European painting and sculpture in the early 20th century. The painting is notable for its exploration of the theme of flight, a subject that captured the imagination of many artists and intellectuals during a period marked by rapid technological advancements and the dawn of aviation.

Measuring 235.9 x 145.1 cm, "The Conquest of the Air" is a large-scale oil on canvas that depicts two figures standing on a balcony with a vast landscape stretching out before them. The scene is believed to represent the artist and his brother on the balcony of their family home in La Fresnaye-sur-Chédouet, with the expansive view symbolizing the limitless possibilities of human achievement. The work is characterized by its fragmented forms, bold use of color, and dynamic composition, which are hallmarks of the Cubist style.

De La Fresnaye's painting is distinguished by its relatively conservative approach to Cubism, as the artist was known for blending Cubist techniques with a sense of classical composition and harmony. This approach allowed him to maintain a degree of representational clarity while still breaking down forms into geometric facets. "The Conquest of the Air" is a testament to de La Fresnaye's unique position within the Cubist movement, as he sought to balance modernist innovation with traditional aesthetics.

The painting is held in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the development of modern art. "The Conquest of the Air" remains an important work for understanding the evolution of Cubism and the broader cultural context of early 20th-century Europe, where the excitement of new inventions and the promise of progress were often juxtaposed with the tensions leading up to the First World War.
