"Marie Joseph 1757-1834 Marquise de La Fayette, on his Deathbed" is a painting by the Dutch-French Romantic artist Ary Scheffer, created in 1834. The artwork captures the final moments of the life of Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, a prominent figure in both the American and French Revolutions. Scheffer, known for his emotive and often dramatic portrayals of historical and literary figures, presents a poignant image of the Marquis de Lafayette on his deathbed, reflecting the respect and reverence held for Lafayette at the time of his death.

The painting is a testament to Lafayette's enduring legacy as a symbol of liberty and his significant role in shaping modern democratic ideals. Scheffer's work is characterized by its fine detail, subdued color palette, and the somber mood it evokes, all of which serve to underscore the gravity of the moment depicted. The Marquis is shown surrounded by his family and close friends, highlighting the personal loss felt by those who were closest to him.

As a historical artifact, the painting provides insight into the 19th-century Romantic movement's approach to portraiture and historical representation, as well as the period's attitudes towards death and commemoration. It also serves as a visual eulogy to a man whose contributions to the cause of freedom had a profound impact on the course of Western political history.

The painting is held in a collection or exhibited in a museum, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an important work for understanding the cultural and political milieu of post-revolutionary France and the broader transatlantic world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
