Brutus Condemning His Sons to Death is a 1788 painting by the Guadeloupe-born French Neoclassical painter Guillaume Guillon-Lethière (1760–1832). It depicts the legendary founder of the Roman Republic, Lucius Junius Brutus, who overthrew Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the last King of Rome. The painting shows Brutus stoically watching the execution of his sons, Tiberius Junius Brutus and Titus Junius Brutus, after sentencing them to death for plotting to restore the Tarquin monarchy.
