About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Félix-Joseph Barrias, this evocative work captures the legendary composer Frédéric Chopin on his deathbed. The composition centers on a woman in a bright white classical gown playing a piano, contrasted against the deep shadows of the room and the muted figures of grieving friends and clergy. This piece exemplifies the dramatic realism of late 19th-century European painting.
