"The Death of the Dauphin" is a historical painting by the French artist Louis Jean François Lagrenée, also known as Lagrenée the Elder, to distinguish him from his younger brother Jean-Jacques Lagrenée. The painting is a poignant representation of the death of Louis Joseph, Dauphin of France, the first son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, who died at the age of seven in 1789, just before the French Revolution.

Lagrenée, born in 1725, was a prominent figure in the Rococo movement and later transitioned to Neoclassicism. He was known for his historical and mythological scenes, characterized by their emotional depth and the use of rich, vibrant colors. "The Death of the Dauphin" is a testament to his skill in capturing the gravity of a moment that held significant implications for the French monarchy.

The painting is a work of historical pathos, depicting the young Dauphin on his deathbed, surrounded by his grieving family and royal attendants. The composition focuses on the figures' expressions of sorrow and despair, reflecting the nation's mourning for the heir to the throne. The use of light and shadow, as well as the attention to detail in the rendering of fabrics and textures, showcases Lagrenée's mastery of the neoclassical style.

As an artist who received numerous accolades, including his appointment as a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture and his role as a professor at the academy, Lagrenée's works were influential in the art world of his time. "The Death of the Dauphin" holds a particular place in his oeuvre as it captures a moment of profound historical significance with both artistic sensitivity and a sense of immediacy.

The painting is not only a reflection of Lagrenée's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the emotional climate of the French court on the eve of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history. It remains an important work for both art historians and those interested in the cultural heritage of the Ancien Régime.
