"Landscape with the Gathering of the Ashes of Phocion by his Widow" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French classical artist Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1648. This artwork is one of Poussin's numerous landscape paintings, which often incorporate historical or mythological narratives. The painting measures 96.5 cm × 121.9 cm (38 in × 48 in) and is currently housed in the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England.

The painting depicts a somber, evocative scene from the life of Phocion, an Athenian statesman and general of the 4th century BC. Phocion, known for his integrity and opposition to Macedonian influence, was falsely condemned and executed. In the painting, Poussin illustrates the aftermath of Phocion's execution, focusing on the poignant moment when his widow collects his ashes for burial, an act of loyalty and mourning. The widow is seen in the foreground, accompanied by a servant, gathering the ashes by the sea, as Phocion's body was denied burial within Athenian territory.

Poussin's mastery of landscape is evident in the classical composition and the harmonious balance between nature and the human figures. The landscape serves not only as a backdrop but also as a powerful narrative device that reflects the mood of the scene. The use of muted colors and the careful arrangement of classical architectural elements contribute to the solemn atmosphere of the painting.

"Landscape with the Gathering of the Ashes of Phocion by his Widow" is a prime example of Poussin's work during his mature period, where he combined his interest in antiquity with his precise and idealized approach to landscape painting. The work is emblematic of Poussin's influence on the classical French Baroque style and his enduring legacy as a painter who could evoke profound emotional and intellectual responses through his depiction of historical and mythological subjects within the context of natural landscapes.
