"Death of Barbara Radziwiłł" is a renowned painting by the Polish artist Józef Simmler, completed in 1860. This work is considered one of Simmler's masterpieces and a significant piece in Polish art history. The painting depicts the poignant and dramatic moment of the death of Barbara Radziwiłł, who was the Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania as the wife of King Sigismund II Augustus.

Barbara Radziwiłł was a member of the influential Radziwiłł family and became queen in 1547. Her marriage to Sigismund II Augustus was controversial due to political tensions and opposition from the Polish nobility, particularly from Sigismund's mother, Bona Sforza. Despite these challenges, the couple's relationship was marked by deep affection.

Simmler's painting captures the emotional intensity of Barbara's final moments. The composition centers on the dying queen, surrounded by attendants and mourners, with King Sigismund II Augustus depicted in a state of profound grief. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the tragedy of the scene.

Józef Simmler was known for his historical paintings, and "Death of Barbara Radziwiłł" exemplifies his skill in portraying historical events with emotional depth and meticulous attention to detail. The painting reflects the Romantic style prevalent in the 19th century, characterized by its focus on emotion, drama, and the exploration of historical themes.

The artwork is housed in the National Museum in Warsaw, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. It remains a poignant reminder of the personal and political struggles faced by Barbara Radziwiłł and her enduring legacy in Polish history.
