"The Death of Saul at Gilboa" is a painting by the Scottish artist William Brassey Hole (1846–1917), which depicts the biblical scene of the demise of King Saul, the first king of Israel, as described in the Old Testament. The artwork captures the dramatic moment of Saul's death during the Battle of Mount Gilboa, as narrated in the books of Samuel. Hole, known for his religious and historical scenes, employs his characteristic attention to detail and historical accuracy to convey the tragedy and pathos of the event.

The painting is set against the backdrop of the fierce battle between the Israelites and the Philistines, with a focus on the figure of Saul, who, according to the biblical account, falls on his own sword to avoid capture. The composition likely reflects the artist's intent to illustrate the themes of despair, defeat, and the consequences of disobedience to divine command, as Saul's reign was marked by his complex relationship with the will of God.

William Brassey Hole's work is part of his broader oeuvre, which includes a series of illustrations for a family Bible, showcasing his dedication to religious subjects. "The Death of Saul at Gilboa" stands as a testament to Hole's skill in blending historical research with artistic expression, contributing to the visual culture of biblical interpretation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception, however, are not well-documented, and further research would be necessary to provide a more comprehensive understanding of its significance within Hole's body of work and its place in the history of biblical art.
