"Der Blut Eid des Catilina" (The Blood Oath of Catiline) is a notable work by Asmus Jacob Carstens, a German painter renowned for his contributions to the Neoclassical movement. Created in the late 18th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from the historical conspiracy led by Lucius Sergius Catilina, commonly known as Catiline, during the Roman Republic. Carstens, born in 1754 in St. Jürgen near Schleswig and later active in Germany and Italy, is celebrated for his drawings and paintings that often depict scenes from classical antiquity, mythology, and literature, reflecting the intellectual currents of his time.

In "Der Blut Eid des Catilina," Carstens illustrates the dramatic scene where Catiline, a Roman senator, is seen swearing an oath with his co-conspirators, sealing their commitment to overthrow the Roman government. The painting is characterized by its stark chiaroscuro, the dramatic use of light and shadow, and the intense emotional expressions of the figures, which are hallmarks of Carstens' mature style. The composition's focus on the psychological intensity of the moment reflects the artist's interest in the inner workings of the human mind and the moral complexities of historical events.

Although Carstens' work was not widely recognized during his lifetime, his posthumous influence was significant, particularly in the development of German Romanticism. His emphasis on the expressive potential of line and form, as well as his dedication to classical themes, inspired a generation of artists who sought to transcend the purely decorative aspects of Neoclassicism. "Der Blut Eid des Catilina" stands as a testament to Carstens' artistic vision and his ability to imbue historical narrative with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth.

The painting is an important piece in the oeuvre of Carstens and serves as an example of the cultural and artistic revival of classical themes during the Neoclassical period. It remains an object of study for art historians interested in the intersection of art, history, and the evolution of European artistic movements at the close of the 18th century.
