The Death of Young Bara, Joseph Bara or The Death of Bara is an incomplete 1794 painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, now in the musée Calvet in Avignon. Joseph Bara, a young drummer in the army of the French First Republic, was killed by the Vendéens, French Royalists. David portrays the last moments of the boy and forms a narrative around the story that radically dramatized the circumstances of Bara's death, in accordance with Robespierre's pro-revolutionary propaganda. The Death of Bara belonged to a series of David's paintings depicting the revolution's heroes and martyrs along with The Death of Marat and The Last Moments of Michel.
