"Esther and Ahasuerus" is a historical painting from the Baroque period by the Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, more commonly known by his nickname, Guercino. Completed in 1639, the artwork captures a biblical scene from the Book of Esther in the Old Testament.

painting depicts the dramatic moment when Queen Esther faints before her husband, King Ahasuerus, who extends his golden scepter in a gesture of mercy. Fearing for her life, Esther risks everything by approaching the King to denounce his chief advisor Haman, who had plotted to annihilate the Jewish people, of which Esther is a part.

Regarded as one of the most prominent painters from the Bolognese school, Guercino brought a renewed emotional intensity to the scene with his signature style of dramatic lighting, dynamic composition, and exquisite realism. His ability to depict human emotion and tension is manifested in the explicit details of the figures’ expressions and postures.

"Esther and Ahasuerus," like many of Guercino's works, reflects the influence of the popular religious and political ideas of his time. It serves not only as an artifact of 17th-century European art and cultural history, but also as a testament to Guercino's mastery of portraying narrative intensity and psychological depth within a single frame. The painting is currently housed in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, Italy.
