"The Death of Minnehaha" is a painting by Scottish artist John Cameron, created in 1895. This artwork is inspired by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem "The Song of Hiawatha," which was first published in 1855. The poem is a fictional account of the life of an Ojibwe warrior named Hiawatha and his tragic love for Minnehaha, a Dakota woman. Cameron's painting captures the poignant moment of Minnehaha's death, as described in the poem, which occurs during a harsh winter famine.

John Cameron, born in 1864 and passing away in 1947, was known for his historical and genre paintings. His work often reflected a romanticized vision of historical and literary themes, which was common among artists of the Victorian era. "The Death of Minnehaha" is a testament to Cameron's ability to convey deep emotion and narrative through his art. The painting is characterized by its somber mood, attention to detail, and the use of color to enhance the dramatic impact of the scene.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact. Longfellow's poem played a crucial role in shaping the European-American perspective of Native American culture during the 19th century, and Cameron's visual interpretation further solidified the story in the popular imagination. "The Death of Minnehaha" is an example of how art and literature can intertwine to create powerful and enduring images that resonate with audiences across different mediums.
