"King Asa of Judah Destroying the Idols" is a 17th-century oil painting by French artist François de Nomé, also known as Monsu Desiderio. The painting depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament, where King Asa of Judah, a ruler noted for his religious reforms, is shown enacting his campaign against idolatry in the Kingdom of Judah. Asa's reign is chronicled in the Books of Chronicles and Kings, where he is credited with removing foreign altars and high places, smashing sacred stones, and cutting down Asherah poles.

François de Nomé, who was active in the early 1600s, is known for his intricate architectural paintings and his penchant for dramatic, often fantastical, ruins and structures. His works frequently combine elements of the real and the imaginary, creating a sense of otherworldly grandeur. "King Asa of Judah Destroying the Idols" is emblematic of de Nomé's style, with its detailed depiction of architectural elements and a dynamic scene filled with movement and emotional intensity.

The painting showcases the moment of destruction, as the idols and symbols of pagan worship are being torn down, emphasizing the religious zeal and iconoclastic fervor of King Asa's reforms. The artwork serves as both a historical representation of a biblical event and an example of the Baroque period's dramatic artistic expressions.

"King Asa of Judah Destroying the Idols" is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the religious and cultural themes that were prevalent in the Baroque era. It also reflects the broader European interest in biblical subjects during this period, which were often used to convey moral messages or to reflect on contemporary religious practices.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the early part of de Nomé's career. The painting is part of a larger body of work by the artist that explores similar themes of destruction and divine intervention. Today, the painting is recognized for its artistic merit and its contribution to the understanding of Baroque art and its engagement with biblical narratives.
