''Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi'' is an 1826 oil painting by French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. His work is a response to the dramatic events surrounding the siege of Missolonghi during the Greek War of Independence against Ottoman rule. The siege, which lasted almost a year from April 1825 to April 1826, ended tragically when the Ottoman forces captured the city, leading to a massacre. The painting is a poignant symbol of Greece's struggle for independence and a testament to the broader European philhellenism of the era.

Delacroix, known for his expressive brushwork and study of the optical effects of color, was deeply moved by the contemporary struggle for liberty and the heroism of the Greek people. In this work, he personifies Greece as a grieving woman seated amidst the rubble of the city. Her posture and expression convey a sense of despair and defiance, encapsulating the sorrow and resilience of the Greek people. The painting's emotive power is heightened by Delacroix's use of color and dramatic lighting, which emphasizes the contrast between the figure of Greece and the desolation around her.

Measuring 208 cm × 147 cm, ''Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi'' is notable for its historical subject matter and its contribution to the Romantic movement, which often celebrated nationalist themes and the struggle for freedom. The painting is also significant for its impact on the public's perception of the Greek cause and its influence on other artists and intellectuals of the time. Today, the painting is housed in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux in France and remains an important work in the oeuvre of Eugène Delacroix, as well as a powerful symbol of the Greek War of Independence.
