"The Death of Germanicus" is a renowned oil painting by the French classical painter Nicolas Poussin, completed in 1627. The artwork, measuring 148 cm by 198 cm, is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minnesota, United States. This masterpiece is a quintessential example of Poussin's narrative style, which combines historical detail with a poignant emotional resonance.

The painting depicts the final moments of Germanicus Julius Caesar, a prominent Roman general and the adopted son of the Emperor Tiberius. Germanicus was a beloved figure in Rome, known for his military successes and his noble character. According to historical accounts, he died in Antioch in 19 AD under mysterious circumstances, with many contemporaries suspecting he was poisoned by an agent of Tiberius, who may have seen him as a political rival.

Poussin's composition captures the drama and pathos of the scene. Germanicus is shown on his deathbed, surrounded by his grieving family and loyal soldiers. The central figure gestures towards his loyal followers, urging them to remain loyal to Rome, while his wife Agrippina clings to him in despair. The painting is noted for its classical restraint and the use of stoic themes, reflecting Poussin's interest in the virtues of antiquity and the human condition.

The work is a prime example of Poussin's early period, showcasing his mastery of form and color, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through art. "The Death of Germanicus" has been widely studied for its historical accuracy, emotional depth, and Poussin's skillful use of symbolism and allegory. It remains an important work in the study of 17th-century European painting and continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
