"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 an artistic masterpiece. The painting depicts the murdered Jean-Paul Marat, a revolutionary leader, journalist, and friend of David, lying dead in his bath after being stabbed by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin sympathizer. Marat suffered from a skin condition that required him to take medicinal baths; thus, he was vulnerable when Corday gained access to his private quarters, claiming to have names of traitors to the revolution.

David's portrayal of Marat is both idealized and poignant, capturing the pathos of martyrdom. Marat is shown with a serene expression, his body slumped over a makeshift writing desk with a quill in his hand and a note from Corday, which she used to gain entry to his room. The composition and lighting draw the viewer's attention to Marat's figure, which is modeled with a Caravaggesque tenebrism, highlighting the drama and emotion of the scene.

"The Death of Marat" is not only a work of historical significance but also a technical masterpiece. David's use of light and shadow, his attention to detail, and the emotional resonance of the subject matter exemplify his mastery of Neoclassical painting. The work is also a testament to the turbulent times of the French Revolution and the role of artists in shaping the narrative of historical events.

The painting has been analyzed for its political symbolism, use of classical elements, and its reflection of David's own revolutionary fervor. It has been housed in various collections over the years and currently resides in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels. "The Death of Marat" continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is widely regarded as a seminal work in the history of Western art.
