Painting Description
"The Daughter of Jephthah" is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Édouard Bernard Debat-Ponsan, completed in 1883. The painting is a dramatic representation of a biblical story from the Book of Judges in the Old Testament, which tells the tale of Jephthah, an Israelite judge who vows to sacrifice the first thing that greets him upon his return home if he is victorious in battle. Tragically, his only child, his daughter, is the first to welcome him, leading to her eventual sacrifice.
Debat-Ponsan's work captures the poignant moment of Jephthah's realization of the dire consequences of his vow. The painting is noted for its emotional intensity, historical accuracy in the depiction of the period's attire and architecture, and its fine attention to detail. Measuring 260 cm by 155 cm, the artwork is a significant example of 19th-century French academic art, reflecting the era's interest in historical and biblical subjects.
The painting was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1883, where it received critical acclaim for its composition and the artist's skill in conveying the narrative. "The Daughter of Jephthah" is considered one of Debat-Ponsan's masterpieces and is often highlighted for its exploration of themes such as sacrifice, duty, and the human cost of vows and promises.
As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Musée des Augustins in Toulouse, France, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
