"The Death of King Arthur" is a notable painting by the 19th-century Scottish artist James Archer, created during a period when the revival of interest in Arthurian legends was at its peak in Victorian Britain. This artwork, like many of Archer's pieces, delves into the rich tapestry of medieval mythology, specifically focusing on the tragic and poignant moment marking the end of King Arthur's reign. The painting is emblematic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's influence, of which Archer was a peripheral figure, characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and emphasis on themes of chivalry, romance, and heroism.

James Archer (1823–1904) was a prominent figure in Scottish art, known for his historical and literary subjects, and "The Death of King Arthur" stands out as one of his most ambitious works. The painting captures the moment of King Arthur's demise, surrounded by his loyal knights and subjects, thus encapsulating the fall of Camelot and the end of an era. Archer's depiction is not just a literal representation of the event but is imbued with symbolism and emotion, reflecting the Victorian fascination with noble sacrifice and the ideal of the gentleman.

The artwork's composition, use of color, and meticulous attention to detail contribute to its dramatic impact. Archer's skill in portraying the intricate armor, expressions of grief and resignation on the faces of the knights, and the serene, almost saintly, appearance of Arthur himself, invite the viewer to reflect on themes of mortality, legacy, and the cyclical nature of history.

"The Death of King Arthur" by James Archer is a significant contribution to the visual legacy of Arthurian legends, offering insight into the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Victorian era. It remains an important work for scholars of 19th-century British art and literature, as well as for enthusiasts of the enduring Arthurian mythos.
