The Death of Darius is a 1838 oil by Angélique Mongez, held at Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene of a man lying on the ground, surrounded by horses and a figure in an orange tunic. The man, dressed in a white shirt with a red cape, appears to be injured or deceased, with bloodstains visible on his clothing. A figure in an orange tunic stands beside him, holding a helmet and looking down at the man with concern. In the background, a horse lies on the ground, while another horse stands nearby, its head turned towards the man. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and mountains, with a pinkish sky above. This painting, "The Death of Darius," is held at the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon.
Marie-Joséphine-Angélique Mongez, née Levol (1 May 1775 – 20 February 1855) was a French Neoclassical artist.
