"Jehuda and Tamar" (1840) is a painting by the French artist Émile Jean-Horace Vernet, commonly known as Horace Vernet. The artwork delves into the biblical narrative of Judah and Tamar, as recounted in the Book of Genesis, chapter 38. Vernet, renowned for his historical scenes and Orientalist subjects, brings to life the dramatic moment when Tamar reveals her identity to Judah, her father-in-law, after having been wronged by him.

In the biblical story, Tamar is the widow of Judah's son, and according to the law of levirate marriage, she is to be wed to the next son to produce an heir. However, Judah fails to uphold this tradition, leading Tamar to disguise herself as a prostitute and seduce Judah himself to secure her lineage. The painting captures the pivotal scene where Tamar presents Judah with his own seal, cord, and staff, which he had given her as a pledge, thereby proving her actions were a direct consequence of his neglect.

Vernet's 1840 depiction is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and dramatic use of light and shadow, which serve to emphasize the emotional intensity of the encounter. The artist's portrayal reflects the 19th-century fascination with biblical and exotic themes, offering a window into the social and cultural interests of the time. "Jehuda and Tamar" is a testament to Vernet's skill in historical painting and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

This painting is part of Vernet's broader body of work, which includes military scenes, portraits, and other historical narratives that earned him recognition in the French art world. As a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Vernet was an influential figure in the Parisian art scene of the 19th century. His works are held in various collections around the world, and "Jehuda and Tamar" continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of Vernet's oeuvre and the broader tradition of biblical painting.
