"Better Is A Dinner Of Herbs Where Love Is, Than A Stalled Ox And Hatred Therewith" is a notable painting by the British artist Frank Holl, created in 1878. Frank Holl (1845-1888) was a prominent Victorian painter and engraver, known for his poignant and often somber depictions of social realism. This particular work is a striking example of Holl's ability to convey deep emotional narratives through his art.

The painting's title is derived from a biblical proverb (Proverbs 15:17), which suggests that a simple meal in a loving atmosphere is preferable to a lavish feast where there is animosity. This theme is vividly brought to life in Holl's composition, which contrasts the warmth and intimacy of a humble family meal with the coldness and isolation that can accompany wealth and luxury.

In "Better Is A Dinner Of Herbs Where Love Is, Than A Stalled Ox And Hatred Therewith," Holl employs a muted color palette and meticulous attention to detail to create a scene that is both intimate and evocative. The figures in the painting are rendered with a sense of realism that captures the viewer's empathy, drawing attention to the emotional undercurrents of the scene. The simplicity of the setting and the modesty of the meal underscore the central message of the work, highlighting the value of love and companionship over material wealth.

Holl's painting was well-received in its time and continues to be appreciated for its emotional depth and technical skill. It stands as a testament to Holl's ability to use art as a medium for social commentary, reflecting the values and concerns of Victorian society. The work remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century British art, illustrating the enduring power of narrative painting to convey universal human experiences.
