"The Banquet of Ahasuerus" is a 15th-century painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Jacopo del Sellaio. Born Jacopo di Arcangelo, known as del Sellaio due to his father's profession as a saddle maker, the artist was a contemporary of Sandro Botticelli and a follower of Fra Filippo Lippi. This particular work is a depiction of the biblical story from the Book of Esther, which recounts the events of a feast held by King Ahasuerus, traditionally identified with Xerxes I of Persia. The banquet is significant in the narrative as it sets the stage for the elevation of Esther to queen and the subsequent saving of the Jewish people from Haman's plot.

Del Sellaio's interpretation of the scene is notable for its intricate detail and the use of vibrant colors, which are characteristic of the Florentine school of painting during the Renaissance. The composition likely reflects the sumptuousness and opulence of the courtly feasts of the time, with an emphasis on the rich attire of the figures and the elaborate architectural setting. The painting serves as a testament to the artist's skill in narrative representation and his ability to convey a sense of grandeur and drama.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, "The Banquet of Ahasuerus" is generally dated to the latter half of the 15th century, a period during which del Sellaio produced numerous works of religious and mythological subject matter. The painting is executed in tempera on panel, a medium commonly used during the period, which allowed for the luminous quality observed in the work.

"The Banquet of Ahasuerus" by Jacopo del Sellaio is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as an example of the themes and styles prevalent in Florentine art of the late 1400s. It remains an important piece for the study of Renaissance painting and the cultural and historical context from which it emerged. The painting is part of the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be admired by scholars and the public alike.
