"Il Suicidio di Catone" (The Suicide of Cato) is a historical painting by the Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci, depicting the dramatic moment of the death of Cato the Younger. Sebastiano Ricci (1659–1734) was a prominent Venetian painter of the late Baroque period, known for his vibrant color palette and dynamic compositions, which were influential in the development of the Rococo style. The painting is a representation of the stoic philosopher and statesman Cato the Younger (95–46 BC), also known as Cato of Utica, who took his own life rather than submit to Julius Caesar, whom he opposed politically.

The artwork captures the tension and emotion of the scene, as Cato, having been defeated in the Roman civil wars, chooses death over living under Caesar's rule, thus maintaining his personal integrity and political ideals. The painting is significant for its historical subject matter, as well as its artistic execution, which reflects Ricci's mastery of dramatic narrative and his ability to convey psychological depth in his characters.

While the exact date of creation for "Il Suicidio di Catone" is not well-documented, it is believed to have been painted during the late 17th or early 18th century, a period when Ricci was active and produced numerous works for both Venetian patrons and international clients. The painting is notable for its classical theme, which was popular among artists and intellectuals of the time as an expression of political and moral values.

The painting's current location, provenance, and exhibition history are essential for a comprehensive understanding of its impact and reception, but such details would require further research to provide a complete account. As a work of art, "Il Suicidio di Catone" stands as an example of Ricci's contribution to the Baroque movement and his influence on the generations of artists that followed.
