"Das Letzte Aufgebot" (English: "The Last Levy") is an oil painting by the Austrian artist Franz von Defregger (1835–1921), who was known for his genre paintings focusing on Tyrolean life and history. Created in 1872, the work is a historical genre painting that depicts a group of Tyrolean sharpshooters from the Napoleonic Wars era. These sharpshooters, also known as "Schützen," were part of a volunteer militia that played a significant role in the Tyrolean Rebellion of 1809 against the Bavarian and French occupation.

The painting captures a moment of solemnity and determination as the Tyrolean men, led by their commander Andreas Hofer, prepare for battle. Defregger's composition focuses on the emotional gravity of the scene, with the figures portrayed in a realistic and detailed manner, highlighting their traditional attire and the rugged landscape of the Tyrol region in the background.

Franz von Defregger, born in Stronach, Tyrol, was a prominent artist of the Munich School, and his works often romanticized the Tyrolean peasant life and the region's folklore. "Das Letzte Aufgebot" is a prime example of his artistic style and thematic focus, combining historical narrative with a strong sense of local identity and pride.

The painting is notable for its historical significance and its role in shaping the image of Tyrolean resistance during the 19th century. It reflects the period's interest in nationalism and the celebration of local heroes. "Das Letzte Aufgebot" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been a subject of study for art historians interested in the depiction of national history in the arts.
