"The Death of Raymond Diocres from the Life of St Bruno" is a notable painting by the French artist Eustache Le Sueur, created in the 17th century as part of a series depicting the life of St. Bruno, the founder of the Carthusian Order. This artwork is one of several that adorned the walls of the Carthusian monastery in Paris, known as the Chartreuse de Paris. Le Sueur, a prominent figure in French classical painting, was renowned for his narrative clarity and the harmonious composition of his works, which often reflected the influence of his contemporaries, Nicolas Poussin and Raphael.

The painting captures a dramatic moment from the hagiography of St. Bruno, illustrating the miraculous event following the death of the Parisian doctor Raymond Diocres. According to the legend, during Diocres' funeral, he miraculously rose from his coffin and declared that he had been judged before the divine tribunal. This event is said to have profoundly impacted St. Bruno and contributed to his decision to pursue a monastic life dedicated to penance and contemplation.

Le Sueur's depiction of this scene is characterized by its emotional intensity and the use of chiaroscuro to heighten the drama. The artist's skillful arrangement of figures and attention to detail not only serve to convey the narrative but also reflect the spiritual and moral themes central to the Carthusian Order. The painting's historical and artistic significance lies in its representation of Baroque art in France and its role in the visual storytelling of saintly lives during the Counter-Reformation.

Today, "The Death of Raymond Diocres from the Life of St Bruno" is considered an important work within Le Sueur's oeuvre and is studied for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of religious art in the context of 17th-century France. The series to which this painting belongs is regarded as one of the artist's masterpieces and a significant example of French Baroque painting.
