From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Belisarius (French: Bélisaire) is a 1776 history painting by the French artist François-André Vincent.[1][2] It depicts a scene from the Byzantine Empire in which Belisarius is given aid by a passing officer. It was one of fifteen works that Vincent displayed at the Salon of 1777 at the Louvre and was hung as a pendant to Alcibiades Being Taught by Socrates. Today it is part of the collection of the Musée Fabre in Montpellier which acquired it in 1937.[3]
