"The Death of Seneca" is a 1615 painting by Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, depicting the final moments of the Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, and dramatist Lucius Annaeus Seneca. This work is one of Rubens's historical paintings, which illustrates the dramatic and tragic suicide of Seneca, who was forced to take his own life after being accused of involvement in a conspiracy against the Emperor Nero.

In the painting, Rubens captures the poignant scene with his characteristic dynamism and rich color palette. Seneca is shown in a bathtub, surrounded by his grieving friends and disciples, as he prepares to sever his veins, a method of suicide in keeping with the Stoic philosophy he espoused. The composition reflects the Baroque style's emphasis on movement and emotion, with the figures' expressive gestures and the play of light and shadow enhancing the theatricality of the moment.

Rubens's portrayal of Seneca's death is not only a reflection of the artist's interest in classical antiquity and its moral themes but also an example of his ability to convey complex psychological states through his art. The painting serves as a testament to Rubens's mastery of historical subject matter and his skill in translating the grandeur and pathos of ancient history onto the canvas.

"The Death of Seneca" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its representation of a significant historical and philosophical event. It remains an important work within Rubens's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its historical context, its reflection of Rubens's artistic influences, and its impact on the development of Baroque painting.
