"Funérailles de Guillaume le Conquérant" (Funeral of William the Conqueror) is a historical painting by the French artist Jean-Paul Laurens, completed in 1883. The artwork is an oil on canvas and is part of Laurens' body of work that delves into dramatic and often somber historical scenes. The painting depicts the funeral of William the Conqueror, the first Norman King of England, who died in 1087.

Laurens was known for his academic style and meticulous attention to historical detail, which is evident in the solemn atmosphere and the accurate portrayal of the period's attire and architecture in this painting. The scene is set within a church, capturing the moment of the funeral with a focus on the emotional weight of the event. Mourners are shown in various states of grief, surrounding the late king's body, which lies in state.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical representation. It reflects the 19th-century French interest in the medieval past and the Romantic fascination with death and the macabre. Laurens' work often commented on the political and social issues of his time through the lens of historical events, and "Funérailles de Guillaume le Conquérant" serves as a reflection on power, mortality, and the enduring impact of historical figures.

"Funérailles de Guillaume le Conquérant" is a notable example of Laurens' contribution to French historical painting and is often cited in discussions of his work and the broader context of 19th-century European art.
