"The Burning of Troy" is a significant oil on copper painting by the German artist Adam Elsheimer, created around 1601. This work is renowned for its meticulous detail, dramatic use of light, and innovative composition, which have earned Elsheimer a place among the most important figures of the early Baroque period. The painting depicts the catastrophic final night of the ancient city of Troy, as described in classical literature, most notably Virgil's "Aeneid."

In "The Burning of Troy," Elsheimer masterfully captures the chaos and despair of the city's downfall. The scene is illuminated by the intense flames consuming the architecture, reflecting Elsheimer's fascination with the effects of light and his skill in rendering night scenes—a theme that would influence later artists, including Rembrandt. The small scale of the painting, typical for Elsheimer's works, belies the complexity of its composition and the richness of its narrative content.

Elsheimer's innovative approach to landscape, his combination of mythological subject matter with naturalistic detail, and his pioneering use of chiaroscuro have been celebrated for their impact on the development of 17th-century landscape and narrative painting. "The Burning of Troy" is a prime example of Elsheimer's ability to convey a grand story within a compact format, making it a masterpiece of early Baroque art.

The painting is held in high esteem not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance, as Elsheimer's influence extended to his contemporaries and successive generations of artists. Despite his premature death at the age of 32, Elsheimer left a lasting legacy through his innovative techniques and the emotional depth of his work, with "The Burning of Troy" standing as a testament to his genius.
