Hamlet and Horatio in the Churchyard is a 1868 oil by Victor Müller, a German Romanticism work, held at Städel Museum.
This painting depicts a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet, with the titular character and his friend Horatio standing in a churchyard. Hamlet is dressed in dark attire, while Horatio wears a lighter-colored coat and hat. The two men are surrounded by trees and grass, with a cloudy sky above them. In the background, a body lies on the ground, and a church can be seen in the distance. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of somberness and contemplation.
