Garrote vil (Garrotte) is an 1894 painting by Ramon Casas, produced in Barcelona and now in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.

The episode of the public execution of a prisoner, which took place in Barcelona, in 1893, and drew a large crowd of onlookers, was used by the artist to chronicle the city at this time.

Casas, as usual in his paintings of these characteristics, accurately reproduced a very harsh scene, but avoiding social denunciation and limiting himself to capturing the situation in a similar way as to a photographic snapshot.

Casas tried to describe objectively the nature of the public event of the execution, without focusing on any specific protagonist, not even on the victim, barely visible between the executioner and the confessors, on the stage, at the left, and allowing the viewer to wander his gaze as an eyewitness of the scene would have done.

Visible are also the members of the Confraternity of the Blood of Christ, wearing their typical conical hoods.
