"John Keats in his Last Illness" is a poignant engraving that captures the final days of the renowned English Romantic poet, John Keats. This artwork is based on an original sketch by Joseph Severn, a close friend and the bedside companion of Keats during his terminal battle with tuberculosis. The sketch, later transformed into an engraving, was featured in "The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine" from May to October 1883, a periodical known for its dedication to fostering the arts and literature. Joseph Arthur Palliser Severn, an artist and diplomat, meticulously detailed the fragile state of Keats in this work, offering a window into the intimate and tragic end of one of the most celebrated figures in English literature.

The engraving not only serves as a historical document but also as a testament to the deep friendship between Keats and Severn. Joseph Severn took great care in his portrayal, ensuring that the dignity and spirit of Keats were preserved amidst the evident suffering. This piece of art has since become an iconic representation of Keats, immortalizing the poet's youthful visage and his battle against illness that ultimately claimed his life at the young age of 25.

"John Keats in his Last Illness" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the narrative of Keats's life and the Romantic era. It encapsulates the themes of beauty, tragedy, and the fleeting nature of life that Keats himself explored in his poetry. The engraving, through Severn's empathetic and skilled hand, communicates the profound loss felt by the literary world at Keats's premature death and serves as a reminder of the human condition and the enduring power of friendship and artistic expression.
