"The Death of Jezebel" is a 17th-century oil painting by the German Baroque artist Johann Heiss (1640–1704). The artwork depicts the biblical story of Jezebel, a queen of the northern kingdom of Israel and the wife of King Ahab, as narrated in the First and Second Books of Kings in the Hebrew Bible. Jezebel, known for her promotion of the worship of the Canaanite deity Baal and her opposition to the prophet Elijah, meets a gruesome end as prophesied by Elijah. In the biblical account, she is thrown from a window by members of her own court, trampled by horses, and her body is eaten by dogs.

Johann Heiss, born in Memmingen and active primarily in Augsburg, was noted for his history paintings, portraits, and genre scenes. His works are characterized by their vivid coloration and dynamic compositions, often imbued with dramatic intensity. "The Death of Jezebel" is a prime example of Heiss's skill in conveying narrative and emotion, capturing the moment of Jezebel's demise with a focus on the figures' expressions and the action's immediacy.

The painting serves as an artistic interpretation of the biblical tale, reflecting the Baroque era's interest in dramatic subjects and the exploration of human emotions. It also exemplifies the period's religious art, where biblical stories were commonly used as subjects to convey moral lessons and religious values.

"The Death of Jezebel" by Johann Heiss is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and Baroque painting, offering insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the time. The painting is significant for its historical and artistic value, contributing to the understanding of Baroque art and its narrative capabilities.
