"The Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus" (1846) is a monumental painting by the German artist Wilhelm von Kaulbach (1805–1874), an influential figure in 19th-century German historical painting. This work is one of Kaulbach's most significant pieces and exemplifies his grand historical style, which combined detailed realism with a dramatic narrative approach. The painting depicts the siege and subsequent destruction of Jerusalem by Roman forces under the command of Titus in 70 CE, an event that marked the end of the First Jewish–Roman War and led to the diaspora of the Jewish people.

Kaulbach's canvas is imbued with a sense of tragic grandeur, capturing the tumultuous emotions and catastrophic events that characterized the fall of Jerusalem. The artist's use of vivid imagery and allegorical elements conveys the horror and chaos of the siege, as well as the broader themes of human suffering and divine retribution. The composition is crowded with figures, from the Roman soldiers in the foreground to the Jewish inhabitants of the city, all portrayed amidst the backdrop of the burning Temple of Solomon.

The painting was commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria for the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, where it was intended to form part of a series of murals depicting key events in world history. Kaulbach's work reflects the 19th-century fascination with historical subjects and the belief in the moral and didactic power of art. "The Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus" is notable for its ambitious scale and the complexity of its composition, which showcases Kaulbach's skills as a draftsman and his ability to orchestrate a vast array of figures and architectural elements into a coherent whole.

As a historical painting, "The Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus" has been both praised for its epic scope and criticized for its melodramatic excesses. Nevertheless, it remains an important example of the historical genre in German Romantic painting and a testament to Kaulbach's reputation as a master of monumental art. The work is also significant for its cultural and historical resonance, reflecting the 19th-century European interest in the ancient world and the events that shaped the course of Western civilization.
