"The Massacre of Chios" is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, completed in 1824. It is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and stands as a monumental work in Delacroix's oeuvre, measuring 419 cm × 354 cm (165 in × 139 in). The painting is a historical narrative that depicts the horrific events of the Chios massacre, which occurred during the Greek War of Independence in 1822, where tens of thousands of Greeks on the island of Chios were killed or enslaved by Ottoman troops.

Delacroix's work is renowned for its dramatic intensity and emotional power, capturing the tragedy and human suffering of the event. The composition is complex, with a chaotic arrangement of figures in various states of distress, which serves to evoke a visceral response from the viewer. The use of color and light further enhances the dramatic effect, with the dark and brooding tones reflecting the somber subject matter.

The painting is considered a seminal work in the Romantic movement, as it exemplifies the Romantic emphasis on emotion, the sublime, and the depiction of contemporary historical events. "The Massacre of Chios" also reflects the growing public interest in the Greek cause for independence, which was a popular subject among European philhellenes at the time. Delacroix's portrayal of the suffering Greeks appealed to the sympathies of the French public and played a role in shaping public opinion on the conflict.

As a historical and artistic artifact, "The Massacre of Chios" has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and interpretation. It is seen as a precursor to Delacroix's later works, which continued to explore themes of human struggle and political upheaval. The painting remains a powerful testament to Delacroix's skill as a painter and his commitment to engaging with the pressing issues of his time.
