"The Death of Buckingham" is a notable painting by the British artist Augustus Leopold Egg, who was an influential figure in the Victorian art scene. Egg, born in 1816, was a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 that aimed to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. His works often reflect the moral and social issues of his time, and "The Death of Buckingham" is no exception.

This painting, created in 1839, depicts the dramatic and poignant moment of the assassination of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, a favorite of King James I and King Charles I of England. Buckingham was a controversial figure, and his assassination by John Felton in 1628 was a significant historical event. Egg's portrayal captures the tension and chaos of the scene, with meticulous attention to historical detail and emotional intensity.

Egg's composition is marked by its dynamic arrangement and the use of light and shadow to highlight the central figures. The artist's skill in rendering textures and expressions adds to the realism and impact of the scene. The painting reflects Egg's interest in historical subjects and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.

"The Death of Buckingham" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. The painting not only exemplifies Egg's technical prowess but also his engagement with the themes of power, loyalty, and betrayal, which resonate with the broader concerns of Victorian society.
