"The Burial of Atala" is an 1808 oil painting by French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roucy-Triosson, commonly known as Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson. The painting is based on an episode from François-René de Chateaubriand's 1801 novel "Atala," which is part of his larger work "Le Génie du Christianisme" ("The Genius of Christianity"). The novel and the painting reflect the Romantic fascination with the exotic and the noble savage, themes that were popular in the art and literature of early 19th-century Europe.

The painting depicts the burial of Atala, the novel's heroine, who is a half-European, half-Native American woman. She falls in love with Chactas, a Native American man, but has vowed chastity due to her Christian beliefs. Facing the irreconcilable conflict between her love and her vow, Atala takes her own life. In Girodet's depiction, Chactas and a hermit, Father Aubry, are seen burying Atala in a solemn, torch-lit scene that emphasizes themes of sacrifice, religion, and the intermingling of different cultures.

Girodet's work is noted for its emotional intensity and its detailed, almost theatrical portrayal of the burial scene. The painting's dramatic lighting and the mournful expressions of the characters enhance the tragic nature of the story. "The Burial of Atala" was well-received in its time and contributed to the popularity of Chateaubriand's work, as well as the Romantic movement's preoccupation with themes of death, passion, and the sublime. The painting remains an important example of early 19th-century French Romanticism and is housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.
