"Death of Barbara Radziwiłł" is a renowned painting by the Polish artist Józef Simmler, completed in 1860. This artwork is considered one of Simmler's masterpieces and is a significant piece in Polish art history. The painting depicts the poignant moment of the death of Barbara Radziwiłł, the Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania, who was the second wife of King Sigismund II Augustus.

Barbara Radziwiłł was a member of the influential Radziwiłł family and became Queen of Poland in 1550. Her marriage to Sigismund II Augustus was controversial due to political tensions and opposition from the Polish nobility, particularly from Sigismund's mother, Bona Sforza. Despite these challenges, the couple shared a deep affection for each other. Tragically, Barbara's life was cut short when she died in 1551, only a year after becoming queen, under mysterious circumstances that fueled rumors of poisoning.

Simmler's painting captures the intimate and sorrowful scene of Barbara's deathbed. The composition is marked by its emotional depth and attention to detail, reflecting the artist's skill in portraying human emotion and historical narrative. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the somber mood, drawing the viewer into the personal grief of the moment.

The painting is notable for its historical accuracy and the way it conveys the cultural and political context of 16th-century Poland. It serves as both a tribute to Barbara Radziwiłł's legacy and a reflection on the themes of love, loss, and political intrigue. Today, "Death of Barbara Radziwiłł" is housed in the National Museum in Warsaw, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance. Simmler's work remains an important part of Poland's cultural heritage, offering insight into the country's past and the enduring power of art to capture human experience.
