"The End of the Gastronomes" is a satirical print created by French artist Philibert-Louis Debucourt (1755–1832). Debucourt, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is known for his genre scenes and social satires, which often commented on the mores and follies of French society during a period of significant political and social upheaval. "The End of the Gastronomes" reflects Debucourt's keen interest in the lives of the Parisian bourgeoisie and his ability to capture the spirit of the times through his art.

The print is characterized by its detailed depiction of a group of individuals who have indulged to excess in the pleasures of the table, a common theme in satirical works critiquing the decadence of the era. Debucourt's work often featured the emerging middle classes, and "The End of the Gastronomes" may be seen as a commentary on the consequences of overindulgence and the moral decay it symbolized in the eyes of contemporary social critics.

Philibert-Louis Debucourt's technique typically involved a combination of etching and aquatint, allowing for a rich interplay of line and tonal variation, which is evident in "The End of the Gastronomes." His prints were widely circulated and popular among the French public, contributing to the broader discourse on manners, morals, and social change during the late 18th century.

"The End of the Gastronomes" is part of a larger body of work by Debucourt that provides valuable insight into the cultural and social history of France during a period marked by the transition from the Ancien Régime to the French Revolution and its aftermath. As such, it remains an important work for scholars interested in French art, history, and the social dynamics of the time.
