"Le Bûcher de Sardanapale" (The Funeral Pyre of Sardanapalus) is a historical painting by the French artist Frédéric Henri Schopin (1804–1880). Completed in 1844, the artwork is a dramatic and romantic interpretation of the death of the Assyrian king Sardanapalus, a figure who became a symbol of decadence and self-indulgence in Western art and literature. Schopin's painting is inspired by the legend as recounted by the ancient Greek historian Diodorus Siculus, who described how the king, facing military defeat and the fall of his empire, chose to destroy all his possessions, including his servants and concubines, by setting them ablaze on a massive funeral pyre.

Schopin's rendition of the subject is characterized by its vivid depiction of chaos and emotion, as figures struggle and lament in the face of impending doom. The painting reflects the 19th-century fascination with orientalism and the exotic, as well as the Romantic movement's preoccupation with themes of heroism, passion, and the sublime. It is a work that exemplifies the period's artistic tendencies to blend historical narrative with theatricality and emotional intensity.

"Le Bûcher de Sardanapale" by Schopin should not be confused with the more famous painting "The Death of Sardanapalus" by Eugène Delacroix, which was completed in 1827 and also depicts the same historical event but with a different artistic approach and interpretation. Schopin's work is an example of the historical genre paintings that were popular in the 19th century, offering viewers a glimpse into the imagined worlds of the past, filtered through the sensibilities of the era in which the artist worked.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen in France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit. As a historical painter, Schopin was known for his detailed and dramatic scenes, and "Le Bûcher de Sardanapale" stands as a testament to his skill in capturing the grandeur and tragedy of historical events.
