"Agony of the Commune, Last Fights in the Cemetery of Père Lachaise" is a historical illustration engraved by Louis Joseph Amédée Daudenarde (d. 1907) and originally created by Daniel Urrabieta Vierge. The artwork captures a poignant moment from the Paris Commune, a radical socialist and revolutionary government that briefly ruled Paris from March 18 to May 28, 1871. The illustration was featured in "Le Monde illustré," a French weekly illustrated newspaper, on May 27, 1871, and is notable for its depiction of the intense and tragic final battles that took place within the iconic Père Lachaise Cemetery.

The Paris Commune was the result of growing discontent among Parisians towards the French government, particularly in the wake of France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the ensuing siege of Paris. The Commune sought to implement progressive policies and reforms but was ultimately suppressed by the French army during "La Semaine Sanglante" ("The Bloody Week"), which culminated in the brutal fighting at Père Lachaise Cemetery. The illustration by Vierge, with Daudenarde's engraving, provides a visual representation of the fierce resistance put up by the Communards and the somber defeat they faced against government forces.

The artwork is significant not only for its historical context but also for its artistic merit. Daniel Urrabieta Vierge was a Spanish illustrator known for his detailed and dynamic compositions, and his collaboration with the engraver Daudenarde brought this poignant scene to the public eye, documenting one of the most turbulent periods in French history. The illustration remains an important cultural artifact, reflecting the political tensions of the era and the enduring legacy of the Paris Commune.
