"The Death of Chatterton" is a highly acclaimed oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Henry Wallis, created in 1856. The artwork is renowned for its poignant depiction of the tragic demise of the young 18th-century English poet Thomas Chatterton, who died by suicide in 1770 at the age of 17 after his literary talents went unrecognized during his lifetime. Wallis's painting is considered a masterpiece of Victorian art and is notable for its meticulous attention to historical detail and its emotive portrayal of the Romantic ideal of the misunderstood genius.

The painting presents a vivid and dramatic tableau of Chatterton's lifeless body draped across a bed, his manuscripts scattered around him, in a garret room in London. Wallis's use of rich color and intricate detail captures the somber mood and the poignant beauty of the scene, evoking a deep sense of empathy for the tragic poet. The work is also significant for its reflection of the Victorian fascination with death and the cult of the young doomed artist, themes that resonated deeply with contemporary audiences.

"The Death of Chatterton" was first exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1856 and received widespread critical acclaim. It has since become an iconic image of the Romantic era and is often cited as a key work in the study of Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian art. The painting is held in the collection of Tate Britain in London, where it continues to attract scholarly interest and public admiration for its haunting beauty and its evocative representation of artistic struggle and despair.
