''The Death of Marat'' is a 1793 painting by Jacques-Louis David, one of the most famous French painters and an active supporter of the French Revolution. The work is a poignant representation of the assassination of Jean-Paul Marat, a revolutionary leader, which occurred on July 13, 1793. Marat was a member of the radical Jacobin group and played a significant role in the political turmoil of the time through his journalism, particularly with his publication, L'Ami du peuple.

David, who was a friend of Marat and deeply involved in revolutionary politics, immortalized Marat in the moments after his death, capturing both the brutality of the act and the sanctity with which the revolutionaries viewed their martyr. The painting shows Marat slumped over in his bath, where he spent long hours due to a debilitating skin condition, with a pen in his hand and a wound on his chest where Charlotte Corday, a Girondin sympathizer, stabbed him.

The composition of the painting is stark and focused, with Marat depicted almost as a Christ-like figure, evoking themes of sacrifice and betrayal. The use of light and shadow, the careful arrangement of the scene, and the inclusion of symbolic elements, such as the note in Marat's hand and the makeshift desk created from a wooden board across the bathtub, contribute to the painting's emotional and political power.

''The Death of Marat'' has been widely analyzed and interpreted as an iconic representation of revolutionary zeal and the cult of martyrdom. It remains one of David's most acclaimed works and a seminal example of art serving political propaganda. The painting is housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels and continues to be a subject of study for its historical significance and artistic mastery.
