"Money to Burn" is a notable painting by the French-born American painter Victor Dubreuil, who lived and worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This artwork, created in the late 1800s, is often cited as a prime example of trompe-l'œil, a style of painting that aims to deceive the eye into perceiving painted detail as a three-dimensional object. Dubreuil's work in this genre is characterized by its meticulous detail and the use of common objects, including currency, which became a recurring motif in his oeuvre.

"Money to Burn" specifically showcases a pile of U.S. currency, ostensibly ready to be burned, with the flames just beginning to lick at the edges of the money. This imagery not only demonstrates Dubreuil's skill in rendering the texture and appearance of paper currency so realistically that viewers might momentarily be fooled, but it also serves as a commentary on the value and impermanence of money. The painting can be interpreted as a critique of materialism and a reflection on the fleeting nature of wealth, themes that were particularly resonant during the Gilded Age in America, a period marked by rapid economic growth and glaring social inequalities.

Victor Dubreuil's life and works, including "Money to Burn," have been subjects of interest for art historians studying the period and the trompe-l'œil genre. Despite the challenges in tracing the complete history and provenance of many of his works due to the artist's relative obscurity during his lifetime, "Money to Burn" remains one of Dubreuil's most recognized and discussed pieces. It encapsulates the artist's technical prowess, his fascination with American currency, and his engagement with socio-economic themes through the medium of paint.

This painting, along with others by Dubreuil, contributes to the broader understanding of American art at the turn of the century, offering insights into the cultural, economic, and artistic preoccupations of the era. "Money to Burn" thus holds a place not only in the study of trompe-l'œil painting but also in the exploration of American societal reflections through art.
