"The Massacre at Chios" is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1824. This monumental work, measuring 419 cm × 354 cm (165 in × 139 in), is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The painting is a detailed and emotive portrayal of the horrors of the Chios massacre, which occurred during the Greek War of Independence in April 1822, where tens of thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios were slaughtered by Ottoman troops.

Delacroix's work is a powerful example of Romanticism, characterized by its dramatic depiction of suffering and its emphasis on emotion and individualism. The painting does not shy away from the brutality of the event; instead, it presents a scene filled with chaos and despair, capturing the attention and empathy of the viewer. The artist's use of vivid color and dynamic brushwork adds to the intensity of the scene, which is filled with the dying and the dead, the desolate and the desperate.

The Massacre at Chios was one of Delacroix's first major paintings and is considered a seminal work in his career. It was exhibited at the Salon of 1824 and immediately garnered attention, both for its political implications and its innovative artistic approach. The painting's graphic representation of the massacre and its emotional impact were a departure from the neoclassical restraint that had dominated French painting. Delacroix's bold choice of subject matter and his expressive style marked a significant moment in the development of Romantic art and set the stage for his future works, which continued to explore themes of human struggle and passion.

The painting remains an important historical document, as it reflects the contemporary European sympathy for the Greek cause and the wider philhellenic movement that supported Greek independence. "The Massacre at Chios" not only stands as a testament to Delacroix's artistic genius but also serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of art to bear witness to history.
