Svenska: Motivet med den döende soldaten som får den sista smörjelsen låg nära tillhands för Nils Forsberg. Under det fransk-tyska kriget 1870–71 arbetade han som sjukvårdare. Modell till soldaten var en av alla skadade som Forsberg möte under belägringen av Paris. Scenen utspelas i kyrkan Notre Dame som fungerade som fältsjukhus. Målningen gjorde stor succé på Salongen i Paris 1888. Den gjorde Forsberg berömd. Grosshandlaren August Rhöss köpte målningen och lät den turnera Sverige runt till innan han skänkte den till Nationalmuseum 1889. . 1888 32 Death of a Hero (Nils Forsberg) - Nationalmuseum - 18422
