"The Suicide of Cato" is a renowned oil painting by Giovanni Battista Langetti, an Italian Baroque painter known for his intense and dramatic style. Created in the 17th century, this artwork depicts the final moments of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (95–46 BC), commonly known as Cato the Younger, a stoic Roman statesman and opponent of Julius Caesar who famously took his own life after the defeat at the Battle of Thapsus.

Langetti's portrayal of Cato's suicide is a powerful example of Baroque art, characterized by its emotional depth, strong use of chiaroscuro, and dynamic composition. The painting captures the tension and tragedy of the moment, as Cato, resolute in his decision to die by his own hand rather than submit to Caesar, prepares to end his life. The scene is often lauded for its vivid depiction of Cato's stoic resolve and the somber atmosphere surrounding his impending death.

Giovanni Battista Langetti was active during the Baroque period, and his works are noted for their psychological intensity and exploration of themes such as martyrdom, heroism, and the human struggle. "The Suicide of Cato" is considered one of his masterpieces and serves as a testament to Langetti's skill in conveying complex emotions and narratives through his art.

The painting is a significant contribution to the Baroque canon and has been studied for its historical context, artistic merit, and the insight it provides into the cultural and political milieu of the time. It remains an important work for scholars interested in the Baroque period, Roman history, and the legacy of Cato the Younger.
