"The Meeting of Haman and King Ahasuerus" is a significant oil painting by the Dutch artist Aert de Gelder, created in the late 17th century. De Gelder, who was among the last pupils of Rembrandt van Rijn, is known for his unique approach to the Dutch Golden Age painting tradition, often infusing his works with a Rembrandtesque use of light and shadow. This particular painting depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Esther, capturing the moment when Haman, the royal vizier to King Ahasuerus of Persia, encounters the king. The narrative is a pivotal one, as it leads to the events of the Jewish holiday of Purim, where Haman's plot to massacre the Jews is foiled by Esther, the Jewish queen.

In "The Meeting of Haman and King Ahasuerus," de Gelder's mastery of dramatic lighting and expression is evident, as he portrays the tension and dynamics between the two characters. The work is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The painting not only reflects de Gelder's artistic skill but also serves as a historical reflection of the religious and cultural themes that were prevalent in the art of the Dutch Republic during the period.

The painting is an important example of de Gelder's late style, which remained faithful to the Rembrandtesque tradition even as the Baroque era was giving way to the Rococo. It stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Rembrandt on his students and the continuation of his stylistic legacy into the late 17th century. "The Meeting of Haman and King Ahasuerus" is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of biblical narratives in art and the development of Dutch painting in the post-Rembrandt era.
