"The Last Moments of John Brown" is an 1884 oil painting by Irish-American artist Thomas Hovenden. It depicts the final moments before the abolitionist John Brown's execution on December 2, 1859, following his raid on the federal armory at Harpers Ferry, an event that intended to initiate an armed slave revolt. The painting is renowned for its emotional portrayal of Brown and the pathos of the scene, which shows him stopping on his way to the gallows to kiss a young African American child.

Hovenden, who was known for his genre paintings that often addressed social issues, captures a moment that, while not historically documented, has become emblematic of Brown's legacy as a martyr for the abolitionist cause. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its attention to detail, which helps to convey the solemnity and significance of the moment.

The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, having been bequeathed by Carl H. Wolff in 1896. "The Last Moments of John Brown" is considered one of Hovenden's masterpieces and continues to be an important work for its historical subject matter and its poignant narrative, reflecting the tensions and ideals that would soon lead the United States into the Civil War.
