"Dead Adonis" is a poignant and evocative painting by the French Baroque artist Laurent de La Hyre, created in the mid-17th century. Laurent de La Hyre (1606–1656) was a prominent figure in the Parisian art scene and a key member of the French classical tradition. His works are celebrated for their clarity, grace, and harmonious compositions, often imbued with a sense of serene melancholy.

The painting depicts the mythological figure Adonis, a youth of remarkable beauty who was loved by the goddess Venus. According to classical mythology, Adonis was tragically killed by a wild boar during a hunt, a narrative that has been a rich source of inspiration for artists throughout the centuries. In "Dead Adonis," de La Hyre captures the aftermath of this tragic event, focusing on the lifeless body of Adonis.

Rendered with meticulous attention to detail, the painting showcases de La Hyre's mastery of anatomy and his ability to convey deep emotion through the human form. Adonis is portrayed with a serene expression, his body gracefully composed even in death, which contrasts with the violent nature of his demise. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the dramatic effect, highlighting the contours of Adonis's body and the surrounding landscape.

"Dead Adonis" exemplifies de La Hyre's skill in blending classical themes with the Baroque style's emotional intensity. The painting not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to evoke a narrative that resonates with themes of beauty, love, and loss. Today, "Dead Adonis" is regarded as a significant work within Laurent de La Hyre's oeuvre, offering insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of 17th-century France.
