About The Festival of Esther

The Festival of Esther is an 1865 history painting by the British artist Edward Armitage. It depicts a scene from the Old Testament Book of Esther. Esther the wife of King Ahasuerus of Persia had concealed her Jewish identity from her husband. The king's chief minister Haman drew up a scheme to kill all the Jews, only for Esther to reveal her own identity publicly at a banquet. Armitage aimed for accuracy in the composition, and based many of the details on items from Assyria recently acquired the British Museum.
