"The Death of Wolfe" is an iconic oil painting created by the Anglo-American artist Benjamin West in 1770. This historical artwork is a dramatized depiction of the death of British General James Wolfe during the 1759 Battle of Quebec, part of the Seven Years' War. The painting recognized for its narrative grandeur and iconic status, significantly transformed the standard of history painting in its time.

Contrary to the artistic norms of the period, West strayed from historical accuracy in favor of powerful emotional resonance through his decision to depict the battle's key individuals in contemporary clothing rather than classical garb. A decision cemented West's reputation and raised the status of contemporary history painting. The 1.5m by 2.1m piece captures the moment of Wolfe's death, surrounded by his men and a Native American ally, gazing towards the figure of Victory, symbolizing England's triumph.

Today, the painting is housed in the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. It continues to remain a revered piece of artwork, both for Canada and the global art community. Its influence has extended beyond the realm of art into the collective consciousness, influencing the perception and remembrance of historical events it encapsulates. "The Death of Wolfe" exemplifies how art intertwines with history, offering a blend of authenticity, creativity, and poignant narration.
