"The Last Voyage of Henry Hudson" is a historical painting by the American artist John Collier, created in 1881. This evocative work captures a poignant moment from the ill-fated final expedition of the English sea explorer Henry Hudson. Known for his explorations of present-day Canada and parts of the northeastern United States, Hudson's last voyage in 1610-1611 aimed to find the Northwest Passage, a direct route from Europe to Asia through the Arctic Ocean. However, the expedition ended in tragedy when Hudson's crew mutinied, setting him, his son, and several loyal crew members adrift in a small boat in what is now Hudson Bay.

Collier's painting masterfully conveys the desolation and despair of this historical episode. The composition centers on Hudson, depicted with a solemn and resigned expression, as he faces the icy expanse of the bay. The artist's use of somber tones and meticulous attention to detail enhances the emotional gravity of the scene. The surrounding figures, including Hudson's young son, add to the narrative of abandonment and hopelessness.

John Collier, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, was known for his narrative style and historical subjects. His works often combined meticulous realism with dramatic storytelling, and "The Last Voyage of Henry Hudson" is a prime example of his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his art. The painting not only serves as a historical record but also as a poignant reminder of the perils of exploration and the human cost of the relentless pursuit of discovery. Today, it remains a significant piece in the canon of 19th-century historical art, reflecting both Collier's artistic prowess and the enduring fascination with Hudson's tragic fate.
