Officier grec blessé is a 1826 oil by Jean-Claude Bonnefond, a Neoclassicism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene of a man and woman in a boat, with another man standing behind them. The woman, dressed in a yellow jacket and blue skirt, has a white headscarf and appears to be in distress. The man in the boat, wearing a red jacket and turban, is holding her and pointing upwards. The man standing behind them, dressed in a green jacket and red hat, looks on with concern. The background of the painting is dark and smoky, with a sense of chaos and destruction. The overall mood of the painting is one of urgency and alarm. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Jean-Claude Bonnefond.
