History painting is a genre in painting defined by its subject matter rather than artistic style.

History paintings were traditionally regarded as the highest form of Western painting, occupying the most prestigious place in the hierarchy of genres, and considered the equivalent to the epic in literature.

By the later 19th century, history painting was often explicitly rejected by avant-garde movements such as the Impressionists ( except for Édouard Manet ) and the Symbolists, and according to one recent writer " Modernism was to a considerable extent built upon the rejection of History Painting ... All other genres are deemed capable of entering, in one form or another, the ' pantheon ' of modernity considered, but History Painting is excluded ".

History painting was the dominant form of academic painting in the various national academies in the 18th century, and for most of the 19th ; in France artists such as Henri Jean-Baptiste Victoire Fradelle, Antoine-Jean, Baron Gros, Jacques-Louis David, Ingres, Claude Joseph Vernet, Carle Vernet, Pierre-Narcisse Guérin were among the leading figures.
