"The Miracle of the Gaderene Swine" is a painting by Briton Rivière (1840–1920), a British artist known for his animal paintings and historical scenes. Completed in 1883, this work is inspired by the biblical story from the New Testament, where Jesus exorcises demons from a possessed man and allows them to enter a herd of pigs, which then rush down a steep bank into a lake and drown. The event is recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and is often referred to as the exorcism of the Gerasene demoniac.

Rivière's interpretation of the scene is notable for its dramatic representation and the emotional intensity conveyed through the figures and animals depicted. The painting showcases Rivière's skill in rendering the naturalistic appearance of the swine and the landscape, as well as his ability to infuse the scene with a sense of the supernatural event taking place. The work reflects the Victorian fascination with biblical themes and the era's penchant for moral and religious subjects in art.

"The Miracle of the Gaderene Swine" is an example of Rivière's broader body of work, which frequently combined his interest in animals with human narratives, often highlighting the interactions and bonds between them. As with many of his paintings, this work would have appealed to the Victorian taste for narrative art that also allowed for a reflection on moral and spiritual matters.

The painting is part of the collection of the Manchester Art Gallery in Manchester, England. It has been exhibited and studied as an example of Victorian-era religious art and continues to be of interest to scholars for its artistic and cultural significance during the period.
