''Hamlet and Horatio in the Graveyard'' (1839) is a painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. This work is part of Delacroix's extensive series of paintings and lithographs that interpret scenes from William Shakespeare's tragedy ''Hamlet''. The painting depicts the dramatic moment from Act V, Scene I of the play, where Hamlet and his friend Horatio confront the reality of death in a churchyard as they come across the skull of Yorick, the king's jester.

In this scene, Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, meditates on the inevitability and universality of death, a theme that resonates throughout the play. Delacroix's portrayal is noted for its emotional depth and its vivid representation of the characters' psychological states. The artist's use of color, light, and shadow enhances the somber mood of the scene and reflects the existential contemplation expressed in Shakespeare's text.

Delacroix, a leading figure of the Romantic movement, was known for his expressive brushwork and his study of the optical effects of color. In ''Hamlet and Horatio in the Graveyard'', Delacroix's style captures the intensity of the moment, with the figures of Hamlet and Horatio rendered in dynamic poses that suggest both movement and introspection. The painting is exemplary of Delacroix's fascination with literary subjects and his ability to translate dramatic narratives into compelling visual imagery.

The work is part of a broader cultural engagement with Shakespeare during the 19th century, where the playwright's works were increasingly celebrated and interpreted across various art forms. Delacroix's interest in Shakespeare was shared by many of his contemporaries, and his contributions to the visual arts helped to solidify the playwright's status as a universal literary figure.

''Hamlet and Horatio in the Graveyard'' is held in high regard for its masterful execution and its poignant capture of one of literature's most iconic scenes. The painting remains an important example of Delacroix's oeuvre and a significant piece within the canon of 19th-century art inspired by Shakespeare's works.
