"The Death of Patroclus" is a significant neoclassical painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in 1783. The artwork is a historical representation of a scene from Homer's epic poem, the Iliad, where Patroclus, the close friend and companion of the Greek hero Achilles, is slain in battle during the Trojan War. Gros, a student of Jacques-Louis David, was known for his historical and neoclassical themes, and this painting is a prime example of his early work in this genre.

The painting depicts the moment of Patroclus's death, capturing the drama and pathos of the scene. It is characterized by its classical composition, the use of chiaroscuro to highlight the emotional intensity, and the careful attention to anatomical accuracy, which Gros would have studied under David's tutelage. The artwork serves as an exemplar of the neoclassical movement's emphasis on themes from antiquity, which were intended to provide moral lessons as well as aesthetic pleasure.

"The Death of Patroclus" is notable for its portrayal of heroism and tragedy, key themes in neoclassical art, and for its influence on Gros's later works, which increasingly depicted scenes of contemporary history with similar emotional and dramatic intensity. The painting is also an important precursor to the Romantic movement, in which Gros would later play a significant role. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Antoine-Jean Gros and a valuable piece for the study of French neoclassical painting and its evolution towards Romanticism.
