"The Death of Sardanapalus" is a large oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, completed in 1827. The painting is inspired by the tale of Sardanapalus, a legendary Assyrian king who, according to the ancient Greek writer Ctesias, indulged in a life of decadence and self-indulgence. As told by the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, Sardanapalus, facing a military revolt and the imminent capture of his capital, Nineveh, chose to destroy all his possessions, including his slaves and concubines, before committing suicide.

Delacroix's work captures the final moments of the king's life, depicting a chaotic and violent scene set within the luxurious confines of the royal chamber. The king is seen reclining on an opulent bed, overseeing the massacre of his court as his orders are carried out. The painting is renowned for its dramatic intensity, vivid color palette, and the dynamic movement of its figures, which exemplify the Romantic fascination with themes of destruction, passion, and the sublime.

Measuring approximately 3.92 meters by 4.96 meters, "The Death of Sardanapalus" is a work of monumental scale that makes a powerful visual impact. The painting's composition, with its diagonal lines and swirling forms, conveys a sense of turmoil and impending doom. Delacroix's use of rich, contrasting colors and his handling of light and shadow enhance the emotional effect of the scene.

This masterpiece of French Romanticism is considered one of Delacroix's most significant works and is often cited as a precursor to the Symbolist and Decadent movements that would emerge later in the 19th century. "The Death of Sardanapalus" is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. The painting has also inspired other artists and writers, contributing to its enduring legacy in the cultural imagination.
