"Death of Barbara Radziwillowna" is a renowned 19th-century painting by Polish artist Józef Simmler, completed in 1860. The artwork is a poignant historical scene that captures the tragic demise of Barbara Radziwiłł, Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania, who lived from 1520/23 until her untimely death in 1551. Simmler's painting is a masterful representation of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized emotion and individualism, as well as glorification of the past and nature.

The painting depicts the young queen on her deathbed, surrounded by courtiers and her grieving husband, King Sigismund II Augustus. Barbara Radziwiłł's beauty and the love story between her and the King had become legendary in Polish culture, and Simmler's work reflects the romanticized and idealized view of her life and death. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the somber expressions of the figures, contribute to the emotional intensity of the scene.

Józef Simmler, born in 1823 in Warsaw and passing away in 1868, was a notable figure in Polish art, particularly known for his portraits and historical paintings. "Death of Barbara Radziwillowna" stands out as one of his most significant works and is often regarded as a national treasure in Poland. The painting is not only a testament to Simmler's artistic skill but also a reflection of the period's cultural and historical interests.

Today, "Death of Barbara Radziwillowna" is housed in the National Museum in Warsaw, where it continues to be admired for its emotional depth and technical mastery. It remains an important piece in the study of Polish Romanticism and 19th-century European art, offering insight into the era's aesthetic values and historical narratives.
