"Mort du Maréchal Lannes" (Death of Marshal Lannes) is a historical painting by the French artist Joseph-Louis Hippolyte Bellangé, which commemorates the death of Jean Lannes, the Duke of Montebello and Marshal of France during the Napoleonic Wars. Bellangé, known for his military scenes and depictions of Napoleonic battles, created this work to capture the dramatic and poignant moment of Lannes' demise following the Battle of Aspern-Essling in 1809.

The painting is a powerful representation of the respect and sorrow felt by Napoleon's troops for one of their most esteemed leaders. Lannes was mortally wounded by a cannonball during the battle and died a few days later. In Bellangé's work, the fallen marshal is depicted surrounded by his comrades and subordinates, who are visibly grief-stricken by the loss of their commander. The scene is often noted for its emotional intensity and the artist's ability to convey the solemn atmosphere through the use of color, composition, and the expressive faces of the figures.

As a historical piece, "Mort du Maréchal Lannes" serves not only as an artistic tribute to Marshal Lannes but also as a visual document of the Napoleonic era, reflecting the period's military attire, the chaos of battle, and the personal bonds formed between soldiers and their leaders. Bellangé's attention to detail and his firsthand experience as a soldier under Napoleon lend authenticity to his portrayal of the events.

The painting is significant within Bellangé's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century French art, as it exemplifies the Romantic fascination with heroism, the cult of the 'great man', and the glorification of military valor. It also contributes to the visual culture of the Napoleonic legend, which played a crucial role in shaping French national identity during and after the Empire.

"Mort du Maréchal Lannes" is an important work for scholars studying the Napoleonic Wars, French Romanticism, and the representation of historical events in art. It continues to be analyzed for its artistic merits, as well as its role in perpetuating the mythos of Napoleon and his marshals. The painting is housed in a collection that allows for public viewing, providing an opportunity for audiences to engage with a key moment in French history as interpreted through Bellangé's Romantic lens.
