"John Brown Going to His Hanging" is a significant painting by the African American artist Horace Pippin, created in 1942. This work is part of Pippin's broader engagement with themes of African American history, social justice, and the struggle against slavery. Horace Pippin (1888–1946) was a self-taught artist known for his direct and emotive depiction of both personal and historical narratives, often highlighting the African American experience.

The painting depicts the abolitionist John Brown being led to his execution following his raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, an event that was a pivotal moment in the lead-up to the American Civil War. Brown's attempt to initiate a slave revolt is considered by many historians as one of the catalysts that sparked the conflict. In Pippin's portrayal, Brown is shown as a stoic figure, resigned to his fate, yet firm in his convictions, surrounded by soldiers and onlookers as he walks to the gallows.

Pippin's work is characterized by its vivid storytelling and emotional depth, qualities that are evident in "John Brown Going to His Hanging." The painting is rendered in a style that combines realism with elements of folk art, reflecting Pippin's largely self-taught background. The composition, use of color, and attention to detail not only convey the historical significance of the moment but also invite reflection on themes of martyrdom, justice, and the moral complexities of Brown's actions.

"John Brown Going to His Hanging" is celebrated for its historical relevance and artistic merit, contributing to Horace Pippin's reputation as one of the most important African American artists of the 20th century. The painting is held in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its powerful depiction of a key moment in American history and its reflection on the enduring struggle for freedom and equality.
