"Christ's Entry into Jerusalem" (1814-1820) is a significant historical painting by the British artist Benjamin Robert Haydon (1786–1846). This large-scale work is a prime example of Haydon's ambition to elevate the status of history painting in the United Kingdom through grandiose and emotive biblical scenes. The painting depicts the momentous biblical event of Jesus Christ's arrival in Jerusalem, as narrated in the Gospels, which marks the beginning of his Passion and is celebrated in Christianity as Palm Sunday.

Haydon, a proponent of high art and a student of the Elgin Marbles, sought to imbue his work with classical grandeur and moral seriousness. "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem" is characterized by its dramatic composition, meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy, and the use of chiaroscuro to emphasize the spiritual significance of the scene. The painting features a variety of figures, including the apostles, contemporary intellectuals, and even a self-portrait of Haydon himself, reflecting the artist's belief in the relevance of religious history to the modern age.

Despite Haydon's aspirations, his career was marred by financial difficulties and critical controversies. "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem" was one of the works he hoped would secure his reputation and financial stability. However, the painting received a mixed reception and did not bring the success Haydon had anticipated. Today, the work stands as a testament to Haydon's artistic vision and his unwavering commitment to history painting, offering insight into the cultural and religious milieu of early 19th-century Britain. The painting is also an important piece for the study of Romanticism in British art, reflecting the era's complex relationship with religion, history, and the role of the artist in society.
