"The Suicide of Saul" is a 1562 oil-on-panel painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder. This work is one of the few known biblical subjects painted by Bruegel, who is more commonly associated with scenes of peasant life and landscapes. The painting depicts the dramatic and tragic moment from the Old Testament (1 Samuel 31:1-6), where King Saul, the first king of Israel, takes his own life after his defeat by the Philistines at the Battle of Gilboa.

In Bruegel's depiction, the foreground is dominated by the figure of Saul, who is impaled on his sword, having fallen on it to avoid capture. The scene is set against a chaotic backdrop of battle, with small figures clashing in combat, which is characteristic of Bruegel's attention to detail and his ability to capture the tumult of human activity. The landscape extends into the distance, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering atmospheric perspective and the natural environment.

The painting is notable for its complex composition, the vivid portrayal of movement, and the emotional intensity of the subject matter. Bruegel's use of color and light enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, with the dark tones and the heavy sky contributing to the somber mood of the painting.

"The Suicide of Saul" is considered an important work in Bruegel's oeuvre, illustrating his capacity to convey narrative and emotion through his distinctive visual style. The painting is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it remains an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance.
