"The Death of the Corsican Fox" is a notable political caricature by James Gillray, a prominent British caricaturist and printmaker known for his satirical works during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Created in 1808, this piece is part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre that critiqued political figures, events, and societal norms of his time through incisive humor and intricate artwork. The caricature specifically targets Napoleon Bonaparte, often referred to as the "Corsican Fox" in British satires, highlighting British perceptions of Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars.

In "The Death of the Corsican Fox," Gillray employs vivid imagery and allegorical elements to portray the downfall of Napoleon, who had risen to prominence as a military leader and emperor of France. The artwork reflects the widespread British animosity towards Napoleon and serves as a piece of propaganda celebrating his anticipated defeat. Gillray's caricature is distinguished by its detailed execution and the complexity of its composition, which is loaded with symbolism and references to contemporary political events.

This work is emblematic of Gillray's style, which combined artistic skill with biting political commentary, making him one of the most influential caricaturists of his time. "The Death of the Corsican Fox" not only provides insight into the political tensions of the Napoleonic era but also showcases the role of visual satire in shaping public opinion and political discourse. As such, it remains a significant piece for scholars studying the history of caricature, British political history, and the Napoleonic Wars.
