"Death and the Woodcutter" (French: "La Mort et le bûcheron") is a painting by Jean-François Millet, completed in 1859. It is one of the notable works of the French Realist movement, which emerged in the 19th century as a reaction against the dominant Romanticism of the time. Millet, known for his depictions of peasant life, often imbued his works with social commentary and a focus on the hardships faced by the rural poor.

The painting illustrates the encounter between a weary, aged woodcutter and the personification of Death. In this somber composition, Millet explores themes of mortality, the inevitability of death, and the struggles of the working class. The woodcutter, bent under the weight of his labor and life's burdens, is confronted by the skeletal figure of Death, who appears to be offering him an escape from his toils. This encounter is set in a desolate landscape, emphasizing the isolation and the harsh reality of the peasant's existence.

"Death and the Woodcutter" is often interpreted as a social critique, reflecting Millet's empathy for the plight of the laborer and his interest in the dignity of their work. The painting's stark realism and its poignant subject matter are characteristic of Millet's mature style, which influenced later generations of artists, including the Impressionists and the Barbizon School.

The artwork is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its powerful imagery and its significance in the context of 19th-century art and society. "Death and the Woodcutter" remains an important example of Millet's contribution to Realism and his enduring legacy as a painter of the human condition.
