"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 powerful and emotive response to the historical event of the same name, where tens of thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios were killed or enslaved by Ottoman troops during the Greek War of Independence in 1822.

Delacroix's work is renowned for its dramatic portrayal of suffering and heroism, capturing the horror and brutality of the massacre. The painting is characterized by its vivid color palette, dynamic composition, and the raw emotional intensity conveyed through the figures' expressions and postures. It depicts a chaotic and desperate scene filled with the dying and the dead, as well as the anguish of the survivors, particularly focusing on the women and children who were often the most vulnerable victims in such conflicts.

"The Massacre at Chios" was one of Delacroix's first major paintings and is considered a seminal work in the Romantic movement. It reflects the artist's engagement with contemporary political events and his sympathy for the Greek cause, which was a popular sentiment among many European intellectuals and artists of the time. The painting's exhibition at the Salon of 1824 brought Delacroix critical attention and established his reputation as a leading figure in the Romantic school of painting.

As a historical and artistic document, "The Massacre at Chios" serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and a testament to the power of art to evoke empathy and awareness. Delacroix's masterful handling of the subject matter has ensured that the painting remains an enduring symbol of the struggle for freedom and the universal experience of suffering.
