"The Murder of Étienne Marcel (c.1316-58)" is a historic design for a Gobelins tapestry created by the French painter Jean-Simon Berthélemy (1743–1811). This artwork depicts the dramatic and violent death of Étienne Marcel, the Provost of the Merchants of Paris during the 14th century, who played a significant role in the early stages of the French Revolution. Marcel was known for his attempts to reform the governance of France and limit the powers of the monarchy, which ultimately led to his assassination in 1358.

Jean-Simon Berthélemy, a respected artist of his time, was known for his historical and mythological scenes. His work on the tapestry design reflects the neoclassical style that was prevalent during the late 18th century, characterized by a clear composition, precise drawing, and a focus on the narrative and dramatic aspects of the historical event.

The Gobelins Manufactory, a historic tapestry factory in Paris, was renowned for its production of high-quality tapestries that often depicted historical and mythological subjects. The tapestries produced at Gobelins were highly sought after and typically commissioned by the French monarchy and nobility for their palaces and grand houses.

Berthélemy's design for "The Murder of Étienne Marcel" tapestry would have been part of this tradition of grand historical narrative works. The tapestry itself would have been created by skilled weavers at the Gobelins Manufactory, translating Berthélemy's design into a large-scale woven form, rich in color and detail.

As a historical artwork, "The Murder of Étienne Marcel" serves as a visual representation of a pivotal moment in French history, capturing the tension and turmoil of the period. It is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Gobelins weavers and the artistic vision of Jean-Simon Berthélemy. The tapestry design is an important piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the political struggles of medieval France and the artistic endeavors of the 18th century.
