"La Grèce sur les Ruines de Missolonghi" (Greece on the Ruins of Missolonghi) is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created in 1826. The artwork serves as a poignant political commentary and a symbol of Greek resilience during the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire. Delacroix, deeply moved by the Greeks' struggle for liberation, was inspired by the tragic event of the siege of Missolonghi—a pivotal and devastating episode in the war that culminated in 1826 with the heroic but ultimately doomed resistance of the city's inhabitants.

The painting depicts a female personification of Greece, a common Romantic motif, in a state of mourning and defiance amidst the desolate landscape of the once vibrant city. Her classical attire and posture evoke the spirit of ancient Greek democracy and philosophy, underscoring the connection between the contemporary fight for freedom and the ideals of the classical past. The figure's expression and stance convey both the sorrow of loss and the unyielding determination to continue the fight for independence.

Delacroix's work is characterized by its dramatic use of color and expressive brushwork, hallmarks of the Romantic movement, which sought to emphasize emotion and individualism over the neoclassical emphasis on order and restraint. "La Grèce sur les Ruines de Missolonghi" is not only a testament to Delacroix's support for the Greek cause but also a reflection of the broader European philhellenism of the time, which saw many intellectuals and artists championing the Greek struggle as a fight for liberty and human rights.

The painting is held in high regard for its historical significance and its role in shaping European public opinion towards the Greek War of Independence. It remains an important work in Delacroix's oeuvre and in the history of 19th-century art, exemplifying the power of visual art to influence and reflect social and political currents.
