"Faithful Unto Death" is a painting by Sir Edward John Poynter, a British artist known for his historical and classical subject matter. Completed in 1865, the work is an exemplar of the academic style that Poynter was renowned for and reflects the Victorian fascination with ancient civilizations, in this case, the Roman Empire.

The painting depicts a dramatic scene set during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, which led to the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum. At the center of the composition is a Roman soldier who remains steadfast at his post despite the chaos ensuing around him. The title, "Faithful Unto Death," underscores the theme of duty and loyalty, as the soldier chooses to fulfill his obligations to the empire even in the face of certain death.

Poynter's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic portrayal of the Roman architecture and the soldier's armor, which showcases his commitment to historical accuracy. The use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the scene, emphasizing the contrast between the soldier's stoicism and the disaster unfolding around him.

"Faithful Unto Death" was well received in its time and contributed to Poynter's reputation as a leading painter of the Victorian era. It is an important work within Poynter's oeuvre and reflects broader themes in 19th-century British art, including heroism, empire, and the moral values of the time. The painting is held in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
