"The Death of Procris" is a notable painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Piero di Cosimo, believed to have been created around 1500. This work is a striking example of Piero's imaginative and often enigmatic style, which combines elements of mythology with a keen observation of nature. The painting depicts the tragic mythological story of Procris, a figure from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," who was accidentally killed by her husband Cephalus.

In the foreground of the painting, Procris is seen lying on the ground, her life ebbing away after being struck by a javelin that her husband, Cephalus, had thrown. The javelin, a gift from the goddess Diana, was meant to never miss its target. However, a tragic misunderstanding led Cephalus to throw it at what he thought was a wild animal in the bushes, which turned out to be his wife. The painting captures the moment of Procris's death, with her loyal dog and a satyr, who has discovered the scene, as witnesses to the tragedy.

Piero di Cosimo's work is characterized by its detailed landscape and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's use of color and light adds to the dramatic effect of the scene. "The Death of Procris" is a testament to Piero's ability to weave complex narratives into his paintings, inviting viewers to engage with the underlying stories and themes.

The painting is an important piece within Piero di Cosimo's oeuvre and is often discussed in the context of the artist's fascination with mythological subjects and his unique approach to depicting them. Today, "The Death of Procris" is held in the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
