"The Young Martyr" is a celebrated oil painting by the French artist Paul Delaroche, completed in 1855. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The painting is a prime example of Delaroche's historical and religious subject matter, showcasing his skill in dramatic composition and his ability to evoke emotional depth. The artwork depicts the tragic scene of a young Christian martyr floating on the Tiber River after her execution during the early Christian persecutions in Rome.

The painting measures 170 cm × 260 cm and is renowned for its realistic portrayal of the human figure and its use of chiaroscuro to enhance the spiritual and somber mood. Delaroche's meticulous attention to detail and his nuanced use of light and shadow create a lifelike representation of the martyr, whose serene expression and ethereal beauty contrast with the grim reality of her death.

"The Young Martyr" is often interpreted as a reflection of the 19th-century Romantic fascination with themes of innocence, sacrifice, and the sublime. Delaroche, who was a prominent figure in the French academic art world, is known for his works that often romanticize historical events, and this painting is no exception. It has been praised for its emotional resonance and its ability to connect with viewers on a personal level, transcending the specific historical context to address universal themes of faith, purity, and the human condition.

The painting has been part of the Louvre's collection since its acquisition, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians and a point of interest for visitors to the museum. "The Young Martyr" remains a significant work in Delaroche's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring appeal of historical and religious painting in the 19th century.
