I'm not the biggest fan of art, save for historical paintings. I found these on Wikimedia commons:

The Education of the Children of Clovis - Lawrence Alma-Tadema



Assassination of Alboin, King of the Lombards - Charles Landseer



Fredegund by Praetextatus death bed - Lawrence Alma Tadema



Conversion of Reccared I - Muñoz Degrain



Feel free to post more.

Not all illustrations of history are within the genre of history painting:

History painting is the painting of scenes with narrative content from classical history, Christian history, and mythology, as well as depicting the historical events of the near past. These include paintings with religious, mythological, historical, literary, or allegorical subjects--they embodied some interpretation of life or conveyed a moral or intellectual message.
