"The Death of Chatterton" is a highly acclaimed oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Henry Wallis, completed in 1856. The artwork is renowned for its poignant representation of the tragic death of the young 18th-century English poet Thomas Chatterton, who is depicted lying dead on his bed in a garret room, having committed suicide by arsenic poisoning at the age of 17. Wallis's meticulous attention to historical accuracy and detail, combined with his emotive and romanticized portrayal of Chatterton's lifeless form, creates a powerful visual narrative that resonates with themes of unacknowledged genius and the romantic idealization of the suffering artist.

The painting's composition is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, with the rich hues of Chatterton's clothing and the manuscripts scattered around him contrasting starkly with the pale, lifeless tones of his skin. The scene is set against the backdrop of a window that allows natural light to illuminate the figure, highlighting the pathos of the young poet's untimely demise. Wallis's work is also notable for its influence on the Pre-Raphaelite movement, with its focus on realism, complex symbolism, and the evocation of intense emotion.

"The Death of Chatterton" quickly gained critical acclaim upon its exhibition and has since become one of the most iconic images of the Romantic era. The painting is often interpreted as a commentary on the plight of unrecognized talent and the societal pressures that can lead to despair. It is held in the collection of Tate Britain in London and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
