"The Death of the Sons of King Edward in the Tower" is an 1831 historical painting by the French artist Paul Delaroche, which depicts the imagined scene of the tragic demise of the two young princes, Edward V and his brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. The painting is a work of Romanticism, a movement known for its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of the past and nature.

Delaroche was renowned for his dramatic and meticulously crafted historical scenes, which often portrayed moments of intense emotion and psychological complexity. In this work, he presents a somber and poignant interpretation of one of England's most enduring historical mysteries—the fate of the Princes in the Tower. According to a widely held belief, the boys were supposedly murdered to pave the way for their uncle, Richard III, to ascend to the throne.

The painting captures the imagined moment of the young princes' death, with an emphasis on the innocence and vulnerability of the two boys against the backdrop of their grim fate. Delaroche's use of chiaroscuro, the stark contrast between light and dark, serves to heighten the emotional impact of the scene and draw the viewer's focus to the figures of the children.

"The Death of the Sons of King Edward in the Tower" is considered an important work in Delaroche's oeuvre and is often cited as an example of his skill in blending historical detail with a poignant narrative. The painting resonates with viewers not only for its historical subject matter but also for its universal themes of innocence betrayed and the corrupting nature of power.

This painting is part of a larger body of Delaroche's work that reflects the 19th-century fascination with English history and the Tudor period in particular. It contributes to the romanticized visual culture of the era, which sought to capture and interpret the past through a lens of contemporary sensibilities and concerns. As with many of Delaroche's paintings, "The Death of the Sons of King Edward in the Tower" invites reflection on the nature of history, memory, and the ways in which art can influence our understanding of the past.
