"No Scene so Blest in Virtue's Eyes—As when the Man of Virtue Dies" is an illustration by the renowned British artist Thomas Rowlandson, featured in the publication "The English Dance of Death." Published by Rudolph Ackermann between 1814 and 1816, this work is part of a two-volume series that combines satirical poetry by the lawyer and author William Combe with Rowlandson's vivid and often macabre watercolor illustrations. The series is a commentary on death and its egalitarian nature, touching all classes and professions without prejudice.

The illustration in question depicts the solemn moment of a virtuous man's death, surrounded by grieving figures, and is accompanied by Combe's verses that reflect on the dignity and peace associated with the passing of a morally upright individual. Rowlandson's work is characterized by its detailed and expressive figures, capturing the emotional gravity of the scene with a blend of realism and caricature that was typical of his style.

"The English Dance of Death" was part of a larger trend of "Dance of Death" or "Danse Macabre" themes in European art, which served as a memento mori—a reminder of the inevitability of death. Rowlandson's contribution to this tradition is notable for its satirical edge and the way it reflects the social attitudes and anxieties of Regency England.

As an important piece within Rowlandson's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century British art, "No Scene so Blest in Virtue's Eyes—As when the Man of Virtue Dies" is a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the period's artistic and philosophical preoccupations with mortality and virtue.
