"The King with a Knife Plunged Through His Heart" is a notable miniature painting by the French artist Jean Colombe, created in the late 15th century. Colombe, renowned for his detailed and intricate work, was active during the reign of Louis XI and is best known for his contributions to the illumination of the Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry after the death of the Limbourg brothers. This particular artwork is believed to be part of a larger manuscript, possibly a book of hours or a historical text, which was a common medium for artistic expression during the medieval period.

The painting depicts a dramatic scene with a regal figure, assumed to be a king, suffering a violent death with a knife embedded in his chest. The use of vivid colors and the emotional intensity captured in the expressions of the figures surrounding the king are characteristic of Colombe's style. The artwork reflects the political turmoil and the frequent violence of the time, serving as a visual narrative of the dangers faced by rulers.

Jean Colombe's work is significant in the history of art for its representation of the transition from the medieval Gothic style to the early Renaissance. His attention to detail and the incorporation of both traditional and innovative techniques contribute to the understanding of the artistic and cultural shifts occurring during the late 15th century in France. "The King with a Knife Plunged Through His Heart" not only exemplifies Colombe's skill as a miniaturist but also provides insight into the period's aesthetic and thematic preoccupations.
