"The Assassination of Marat" is a notable painting by the French artist Jean Joseph Weerts, completed in 1880. The work is a historical painting that depicts the infamous murder of Jean-Paul Marat, a radical journalist and politician during the French Revolution. Marat was assassinated by Charlotte Corday in his medicinal bath on July 13, 1793, an event that has been immortalized in various works of art, most famously by Jacques-Louis David in his painting "The Death of Marat."

Weerts' interpretation of this dramatic moment in French history is characterized by its intense emotion and detailed realism. The painting captures the immediate aftermath of Marat's assassination, with Corday portrayed in the act of committing the murder, adding a dynamic and violent aspect to the scene that differs from David's more serene and idealized representation.

Jean Joseph Weerts, born in 1847 in Roubaix and passing away in 1927, was a prominent figure in the French academic art scene of the late 19th century. He was known for his historical and allegorical paintings, which often reflected the political and social turmoil of his time. "The Assassination of Marat" stands as a testament to Weerts' skill in historical narrative and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual culture surrounding the French Revolution. It offers a different perspective on a pivotal moment in history, allowing viewers to engage with the past through the lens of Weerts' interpretation. Today, the painting is an important part of the collection of the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille, where it continues to be studied and appreciated by art historians and the public alike.
