"Ester Swooning before Ahasuerus" is an 18th-century oil painting by Italian artist Francesco Fontebasso, who was known for his work in the late Baroque and early Rococo periods. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Esther, found in the Book of Esther in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament. In this narrative, Esther, a Jewish queen of the Persian king Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I), risks her life by appearing before the king without being summoned, in order to plead for the lives of her people.

Fontebasso's rendition captures the moment of Esther's fainting in the presence of Ahasuerus, a gesture of her vulnerability and the emotional intensity of the situation. The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, rich color palette, and the expressive gestures and faces of the figures, which are hallmarks of Fontebasso's style. The painting also reflects the influence of his Venetian contemporaries, such as Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, in its theatricality and use of light.

Francesco Fontebasso (1707–1769) was an accomplished painter and draftsman, and his works often featured historical, mythological, and religious subjects. "Ester Swooning before Ahasuerus" is considered an important example of his religious paintings and contributes to the understanding of the visual culture and artistic trends of the 18th century in Venice.

The painting is notable for its depiction of a pivotal moment in a story that has been interpreted in various ways throughout history, including themes of courage, faith, and the triumph of good over evil. As such, "Ester Swooning before Ahasuerus" not only serves as a testament to Fontebasso's artistic skill but also as a visual representation of the enduring legacy of the Esther narrative in Western art.
