"Le Festin d'Hérode" (The Banquet of Herod) is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Frans Francken the Younger, created in the early 17th century. Frans Francken II (1581–1642) was a prominent member of the Francken family of artists that played a significant role in the development of Flemish art during the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. His work is characterized by its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and often complex compositions that frequently depicted historical, mythological, and biblical scenes.

"Le Festin d'Hérode" is a depiction of the biblical story of the beheading of John the Baptist, as recounted in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. The narrative unfolds during a banquet held by Herod Antipas, where Salome, Herod's stepdaughter, performs a dance that pleases Herod so much that he promises to grant her any wish. Prompted by her mother Herodias, who bore a grudge against John for denouncing her marriage to Herod, Salome asks for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. The painting captures the dramatic moment of the story, often focusing on the figures of Herod, Salome, and the presentation of the severed head, while also showcasing the opulence and decadence of Herod's court.

Francken's interpretation of this scene is notable for its attention to detail and the psychological portrayal of the characters involved. The work is imbued with moral and didactic undertones, reflecting the Counter-Reformation themes prevalent in the art of the period. The painting's composition, use of color, and depiction of light not only illustrate Francken's skill but also provide insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of early 17th-century Antwerp.

"Le Festin d'Hérode" by Frans Francken the Younger is an important work within the artist's oeuvre and offers a compelling visual representation of a powerful biblical story. It contributes to the understanding of the artistic trends and religious sensibilities of the time and remains an object of study for art historians interested in the Flemish Baroque tradition.
