"Die Letzte Ölung" (1881) is a painting by Swedish artist Bengt Nordenberg (1822–1902), who was known for his genre paintings depicting scenes from everyday life, often with emotional and social commentary. The title of the work translates to "The Last Anointing" or "Extreme Unction," referring to the Catholic sacrament administered to a person who is seriously ill or near death, intended to offer comfort and spiritual support.

The painting is a poignant example of Nordenberg's skill in capturing human emotion and the solemnity of life's final moments. It depicts a priest administering the last rites to an elderly man lying on his deathbed, surrounded by grieving family members. The scene is set within a humble interior, suggesting the universality of death and the rituals associated with it, regardless of one's social standing.

Nordenberg's use of lighting and composition in "Die Letzte Ölung" serves to focus the viewer's attention on the central action and the expressions of the figures involved, highlighting the gravity of the moment. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the textures of the room and the clothing of the figures contribute to the painting's emotional impact.

As a work of art, "Die Letzte Ölung" is significant for its exploration of themes such as mortality, faith, and the human condition. It reflects the broader 19th-century interest in realism and the depiction of scenes from ordinary life, imbued with a sense of narrative and moral contemplation. Nordenberg's painting remains an important example of Swedish genre painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural contributions to the period.

The painting is part of the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, which houses many of Nordenberg's works. His contributions to Swedish art are recognized for their empathetic portrayal of rural and working-class life, and "Die Letzte Ölung" stands as a testament to his legacy as a painter of the human experience.
