''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 commentary. The painting depicts the murdered French revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat, lying dead in his bath after being stabbed by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin sympathizer, on July 13, 1793.

David, who was an active supporter of the Revolution and a friend of Marat, immortalized the event in a manner that elevates Marat to the status of a martyr. The composition is stark and somber, with Marat portrayed almost serenely, bearing a wound on his chest. He is shown holding his last letter, which he was writing at the time of his assassination. The letter is a testament to his commitment to the revolutionary cause and his role as a voice of the people, particularly the sans-culottes.

The painting is remarkable for its simplicity and the stark contrast between the purity of Marat's figure and the darkness surrounding him. David's use of light and shadow, as well as the careful depiction of textures and materials, adds to the dramatic effect of the scene. The work is often interpreted as an idealized representation that serves to mythologize Marat, transforming the controversial figure into a secular saint and symbol of revolutionary ideals.

''The Death of Marat'' has been widely analyzed for its artistic merit and its powerful political symbolism. It is considered a masterpiece of Neoclassical painting and remains an important cultural artifact of the period. The painting is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.
