From the collection of Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The Death of Saint Louis is a 1817 unspecified by Ary Scheffer, depicting Louis Ix of France, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a somber scene, with a group of people gathered around a deceased figure lying on a bed or platform. The deceased is dressed in white robes, and a woman in a yellow dress sits beside them, looking up. The group surrounding the bed appears to be in mourning, with some individuals looking down or covering their faces. In the background, a body of water and a rocky cliff are visible, suggesting that the scene may be taking place near a coast or a seaside location. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of sadness and loss. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Ary Scheffer.
Ary Scheffer (10 February 1795 – 15 June 1858) was a Dutch-French Romantic painter.
