"La Mort de Vitellius" (The Death of Vitellius) is a 19th-century painting by French artist Charles-Gustave Housez. Completed in 1847, the work is a historical painting that depicts the gruesome demise of Roman Emperor Vitellius, who reigned briefly during the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors in 69 AD. Housez's canvas captures the moment of Vitellius's capture and subsequent death at the hands of the Roman populace and soldiers following his overthrow.

The painting is notable for its dramatic representation of the event and its historical accuracy in portraying the clothing and armor of the period. Housez's use of color and attention to detail contribute to the vivid and brutal portrayal of the scene, which is meant to evoke a sense of both the horror of the event and the chaos that characterized the period in Roman history.

Charles-Gustave Housez (1809-1884) was a French painter known for his historical and genre scenes.

The painting is an example of the Romantic interest in dramatic historical subjects and the human emotions involved in such events.

While "La Mort de Vitellius" is not as widely recognized as works by some of Housez's contemporaries, it remains an important contribution to the genre of historical painting in the 19th century. The painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
