"By the Waters of Babylon" is a notable painting by the British artist Henry Le Jeune, who was active during the 19th century. Le Jeune, born in 1819 and passing in 1904, was known for his works that often depicted scenes of sentimentality and moral narratives, frequently drawing inspiration from biblical and literary sources. This particular painting, created in 1865, is a poignant representation of the biblical Psalm 137, which laments the Babylonian exile of the Jewish people.

The painting captures a moment of deep sorrow and reflection, as it portrays a group of exiled Jews sitting by the rivers of Babylon, mourning their displacement from Jerusalem. Le Jeune's use of color and composition effectively conveys the somber mood of the scene. The figures are depicted with a sense of despair and longing, their expressions and body language reflecting the emotional weight of their situation. The background features the lush, yet foreign landscape of Babylon, contrasting with the desolate emotions of the exiles.

Le Jeune's attention to detail and his ability to evoke emotion through his art are evident in "By the Waters of Babylon." The painting is a testament to his skill in capturing human emotion and his ability to translate complex biblical themes into visual art. It stands as a significant example of 19th-century British painting, reflecting the era's interest in religious and historical subjects.

"By the Waters of Babylon" has been exhibited in various galleries and remains an important work in the study of Victorian art. It continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and its poignant depiction of a historical and religious moment.
