"The Death of Sapphira and Ananias" is a significant oil painting created around 1632 by the French Baroque painter Aubin Vouet. This artwork delves into a biblical narrative derived from the Acts of the Apostles (5:1-11), portraying the dramatic and divine punishment of Ananias and his wife Sapphira. The couple's sin of deceit against the Holy Spirit, by withholding part of the proceeds from the sale of their property from the early Christian community, is vividly captured in Vouet's composition. The moment of divine retribution is depicted with intense emotional depth and dynamic use of color, showcasing Vouet's mastery in illustrating biblical stories with a profound sense of drama and spirituality.

Aubin Vouet, having spent a significant portion of his career in Italy, was deeply influenced by the Italian Baroque style, which is evident in the dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as the dynamic poses and expressions of the figures in this painting. Upon his return to France, Vouet became a pivotal figure in introducing and adapting the Baroque style to the French artistic landscape. "The Death of Sapphira and Ananias" stands as a testament to his ability to fuse Italian Baroque influences with his own artistic vision, contributing to the evolution of French Baroque art.

The painting not only reflects Vouet's technical prowess and stylistic influences but also serves as a visual sermon on the moral values of honesty and integrity within the Christian faith. Through this work, Vouet communicates the severe consequences of deceit, both as a spiritual lesson and as a reflection on human nature. "The Death of Sapphira and Ananias" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Aubin Vouet, offering insights into the religious and cultural milieu of 17th-century France, as well as the artist's personal interpretation of biblical themes through the lens of Baroque artistry.
