The Burial of Atala or The Funeral of Atala (French: Atala au tombeau) is an 1808 oil-on-canvas painting by the French painter Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson.[1] It depicts a scene from Francois-René de Chateaubriand's novel, Atala, written in 1801.[2] Inspired by this tragic love story, Girodet captures its dramatic tone by combining both Neoclassical and Romantic elements while emphasizing the sensuality of Atala’s death.

First publicly displayed in the Salon of 1808, the painting was well received.[3] It was then acquired by Louis XVIII in 1818.[3] Today, it is held in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.[3]
