help identifying louvre painting
i need help identifying a painting i saw in the louvre some years ago. It was of a man holding what i think was his dead wife in his arms, his face was clearly anguished and distressed and his wife was white and lifeless. I have no idea what it is called or who painted it. Help!

i Think I Found the Painting
I've been looking for information on the painting for 30 years and thanks to your query and the Internet I think I found it. I believe it is entitled The Burial of Atala by Anne-Louis Girodet. Here is much more about the artist and this painting (a very long address out of the Art Institute of Chicago, but searched by AOL):

Glad you found it. I've been to the Louvre a bunch of times but I don't recall that painting.
