"The Death of Sardanapalus" is a renowned masterpiece painted by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix in 1827. This monumental canvas, measuring approximately 12 feet by 16 feet, depicts a dramatic scene from ancient Assyrian history. It is inspired by the tale of Sardanapalus, the last king of Assyria, who, according to legend, ordered the destruction of all his possessions, including his concubines and servants, before committing suicide as his city was besieged by enemies.

In Delacroix's interpretation, the scene is one of chaotic frenzy and excess. The composition is filled with vivid colors and dynamic brushwork, characteristic of Delacroix's Romantic style. The central figure of Sardanapalus lies on a sumptuous bed, surrounded by his riches and surrounded by his concubines, who are being slaughtered by his orders. The atmosphere is one of chaos and violence, with figures writhing in agony and despair, and the entire scene is engulfed in flames.

The painting is notable for its intense emotional expression and its portrayal of decadence and destruction. Delacroix's use of color, light, and movement creates a sense of turmoil and tragedy, capturing the viewer's attention and evoking a powerful response. "The Death of Sardanapalus" is considered one of Delacroix's masterpieces and a seminal work of Romantic art, showcasing the artist's innovative approach to historical and mythological subjects.
