"The Murder of the Two Princes in the Tower in Richard III" is an oil painting by the English artist James Northcote (1746–1831), created in 1786. The work is historically significant as it reflects Northcote's engagement with the dramatic and political themes of William Shakespeare's play "Richard III," which was written around 1593. The painting depicts the infamous scene from the play where the young Edward V of England and his brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York, are murdered in the Tower of London on the orders of their uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, who would later become King Richard III.

Northcote, a pupil of the renowned painter Sir Joshua Reynolds, was known for his historical and literary subjects, and this work is a prime example of his narrative style. The painting captures the emotional intensity of the moment, characterized by the innocence of the sleeping princes contrasted with the lurking presence of the murderers. It is a poignant representation of one of the most notorious episodes in English history, as dramatized by Shakespeare.

The painting is also notable for its reflection of 18th-century attitudes towards the Tudor period, as well as its contribution to the visual culture of Shakespearean adaptations. Northcote's interpretation of the scene has been analyzed for its artistic merit, its place within the broader context of British history painting, and its influence on the public's perception of historical events.

"The Murder of the Two Princes in the Tower in Richard III" remains an important work in the oeuvre of James Northcote and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing for continued access and appreciation by audiences and scholars alike.
