Sappho at Leucate or The Death of Sappho painting 1801 - stock illustration
Sappho at Leucate, also known as The Death of Sappho, is an oil-on-canvas painting executed by the French painter Antoine-Jean Gros in 1801. It is held in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire Baron-Gérard , in Bayeux.
The painting depicts Ancient Greek poet Sappho's alleged suicide by jumping from a cliff in Lefkada, thus accepting the legendary claim that she took her own life as a result of an unrequited love she had for the young Phaon, who is actually a mythological character.
Antoine-Jean Gros ( 16 March 1771 – 25 June 1835 ) was a French painter of historical subjects. He was granted the title of Baron Gros in 1824
