"The Dead Child" (Italian: "Il Bambino Morto") is a poignant and evocative painting created by the Italian Divisionist painter Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo between 1896 and 1902. This work is a significant example of Pellizza da Volpedo's mastery in employing Divisionist techniques, characterized by the meticulous application of color in small, distinct dots and strokes that blend optically rather than physically. This method, influenced by the broader European Pointillist movement, allowed Pellizza to achieve a luminous and vibrant quality in his work.

The painting captures a deeply emotional and somber scene, depicting the lifeless body of a child surrounded by grieving figures. The composition is marked by its stark realism and the profound sense of loss and mourning it conveys. The use of light and color in "The Dead Child" is particularly noteworthy; Pellizza employs a delicate palette to enhance the emotional gravity of the scene, with subtle gradations of light that draw the viewer's eye to the central figure of the deceased child.

Pellizza da Volpedo was known for his social and political engagement, and his works often reflect his concern with human suffering and social issues. "The Dead Child" can be seen within this context, as it not only portrays personal grief but also serves as a commentary on the broader human condition. The painting's emotional depth and technical brilliance have earned it a place among the significant works of late 19th and early 20th-century Italian art.

The creation of "The Dead Child" spanned several years, during which Pellizza refined his technique and deepened his thematic exploration. This period of his career was marked by a transition from more traditional forms of realism to the innovative Divisionist style that would define his later works. Today, "The Dead Child" is regarded as a testament to Pellizza da Volpedo's artistic vision and his ability to convey profound human emotions through the medium of paint.
