"Tod der Dido" (The Death of Dido) is a Baroque-era painting by the German artist Johann Heiss (1640–1704). Created in 1683, the artwork depicts the tragic demise of Queen Dido, the legendary founder and ruler of Carthage, as recounted in Virgil's epic poem, the "Aeneid." In the narrative, Dido falls in love with the Trojan hero Aeneas, who later abandons her to fulfill his destiny in Italy. Heartbroken, Dido commits suicide, and the painting captures the dramatic moment of her death.

Johann Heiss, known for his mastery in portraying historical and mythological subjects, employs a rich color palette and dynamic composition to convey the emotional intensity of the scene. The painting is a testament to Heiss's skill in capturing the human form and his ability to imbue his works with a sense of narrative drama. "Tod der Dido" is considered an important work in Heiss's oeuvre, reflecting the artistic trends of the late 17th century, including the influence of the Italian Baroque on German painting.

The painting is notable for its historical significance and its representation of Baroque aesthetics, characterized by dramatic expression, strong chiaroscuro, and a sense of movement. "Tod der Dido" remains an enduring example of Johann Heiss's contribution to the art of his time and offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the late 17th century.
