"A Devil Has Died" (Finnish: "Piru kuolee") is a painting by the Finnish symbolist painter Hugo Simberg (1873–1917), created in 1897. The artwork is notable for its representation of death and the supernatural, themes that are recurrent in Simberg's oeuvre. The painting depicts a somber scene where a group of small, impish devils mourn the death of one of their own, showcasing Simberg's fascination with the macabre and the mystical.

The painting is executed in watercolor, a medium that Simberg often employed for its ability to convey subtlety and nuance. The use of muted colors and delicate brushwork creates a poignant atmosphere that reflects the artist's interest in the duality of life and death, innocence and corruption. "A Devil Has Died" is part of a larger body of work in which Simberg explored the human condition through allegorical and fantastical imagery.

Hugo Simberg's work, including "A Devil Has Died," is associated with the fin de siècle period, a time characterized by a sense of decadence and a preoccupation with themes of decline and transition at the end of the 19th century. His paintings often feature a blend of realism and fantasy, and they have been interpreted as commentaries on the complexities of human existence and the unseen forces that shape it.

"A Devil Has Died" is held in the collection of the Ateneum, part of the Finnish National Gallery in Helsinki, which houses many of Simberg's most significant works. The painting continues to be studied and appreciated for its unique contribution to the symbolist movement and its reflection of the cultural and philosophical preoccupations of its time.
