Friedrich Müller's 1818 drawing "Agamemnon's Death" depicts the dramatic moment of the Greek king's demise. The composition centers on Agamemnon's lifeless body laid out in a bath, surrounded by anguished figures in classical garb. A woman standing tall in the background points to the heavens, possibly symbolizing divine intervention or judgment. The detailed rendering and emotional intensity of the scene capture the tragedy of the event, making this a powerful work of Neoclassical art. This artwork can be found at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
