"The Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba" is a renowned oil on canvas painting by the French Baroque artist Claude Lorrain (also known as Claude Gellée or simply Claude), created in 1648. This masterpiece is one of the most celebrated works of Claude, who is widely acknowledged for his poetic rendering of landscape scenes that blend classical ideals with naturalistic detail and a remarkable use of light. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery, London.

The artwork depicts a scene from the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon, as recounted in the First Book of Kings and the Second Book of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible. Rather than focusing on the meeting itself, Claude chose to illustrate the moment of the Queen's departure from her homeland to Jerusalem. The narrative is set within an idyllic and serene harbor scene at dawn, a time of day that allows the artist to showcase his extraordinary skill in capturing the soft and golden light of the rising sun.

In "The Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba," Claude's composition is carefully structured, with classical architecture framing the scene and guiding the viewer's eye towards the central action—the Queen and her entourage preparing to board the ships. The calm sea and the delicate rendering of the sky further contribute to the tranquil and majestic atmosphere of the painting. Claude's work is emblematic of the idealized landscape tradition, which sought to transcend the ordinary world and evoke a sense of timeless beauty and harmony.

The painting is not only a testament to Claude Lorrain's mastery of landscape and light but also reflects the cultural and artistic interests of the 17th century, where historical and biblical themes were often depicted within the context of the natural world. "The Embarkation of the Queen of Sheba" remains a significant work in the history of art, exemplifying the enduring appeal of classical landscapes and the genius of Claude Lorrain as one of its greatest practitioners.
