Hezekiah, King of Judah 1856 - 1863

Hippolyte Flandrin’s 1856-1863 painting "Hezekiah, King of Judah" portrays the Biblical king standing in a majestic pose, holding a shield and a staff. The artwork is presented in a decorative frame and features a vibrant blue background with a halo surrounding Hezekiah’s head. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate details of Hezekiah's clothing, add to the painting's realism and provide a compelling visual representation of the king's power and dignity. The painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistic style of the 19th century and the enduring significance of Biblical figures.
