"The Death of Marat" is a 1793 painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, who is often associated with the Neoclassical movement. This work is one of the most famous images of the French Revolution and serves as a poignant political statement as well as a testament to David's artistic skill. The painting captures the moment after Jean-Paul Marat, a revolutionary leader and friend of David, was assassinated by Charlotte Corday in his bath on July 13, 1793.

Marat, a Jacobin journalist and politician, played a significant role in the radical phase of the Revolution and was a vocal advocate for the sans-culottes. His assassination came at a time of great political turmoil and is depicted by David not as a gruesome crime scene but as a scene of martyrdom. Marat is shown reclining in his bath, a makeshift desk across the tub, with a quill in his hand and a wound on his chest. The composition evokes a sense of calm and is reminiscent of religious paintings of martyred saints, thus elevating Marat's status to that of a secular saint.

David's painting is notable for its stark simplicity and the emotional power it conveys. The use of light and shadow, the contrast between the white of Marat's skin and the dark background, and the absence of unnecessary detail all serve to focus the viewer's attention on the tragic figure of Marat. The work also includes details that allude to the revolutionary cause and Marat's dedication to it, such as the letter he was writing to one of his constituents and the wooden crate that serves as his writing table, symbolizing his support for the common people.

"The Death of Marat" has been interpreted not only as a historical document but also as a work of propaganda, as David was an active supporter of the Revolution and used his art to communicate political messages. The painting has been widely analyzed and discussed in terms of its political significance, its emotional impact, and its place within the broader context of art history. It remains a powerful symbol of the French Revolution and a masterpiece of Neoclassical painting, held in the collection of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
