"La Mort de Démosthène" is a significant sculptural work by French artist Jean Guillaume Moitte, created in 1795. This piece is emblematic of the Neoclassical movement, which sought to revive the ideals and aesthetics of classical antiquity. The sculpture portrays the ancient Athenian statesman and orator, Demosthenes, in the moments before his death. According to historical accounts, Demosthenes committed suicide in 322 BC to avoid capture by Macedonian forces, after a long career of opposing Macedonian influence in Greece.

Jean Guillaume Moitte (1746-1810) was a prominent sculptor of his time, known for his adherence to the principles of Neoclassicism, characterized by clarity of form, sober subjects, and classical motifs. "La Mort de Démosthène" reflects these principles through its detailed representation of the human form, its evocation of classical themes of heroism and tragedy, and its emphasis on moral integrity and personal conviction.

The sculpture is notable for its expressive realism, capturing the solemnity and introspection of Demosthenes' final moments. Moitte's work is a study in the portrayal of human emotion and physicality under the guise of classical restraint, making "La Mort de Démosthène" a poignant example of Neoclassical art's capacity to convey deep emotional and philosophical themes.

"La Mort de Démosthène" has been appreciated for its artistic and historical significance, offering insight into the Neoclassical movement's values and its revival of classical themes and ideals. The work remains an important part of Jean Guillaume Moitte's oeuvre, reflecting the artist's mastery of sculpture and his contribution to the Neoclassical aesthetic.
