"Joshua Stops the Sun, 1885" is a notable painting by Belgian artist James Ensor, created during a period when the artist was deeply engaged with religious and fantastical themes. The work is inspired by the biblical story found in the Book of Joshua, where Joshua commands the sun to stand still in the sky to allow the Israelites more time to defeat their enemies. Ensor's interpretation of this dramatic moment is characterized by his distinctive use of light and color, as well as the incorporation of his signature style that blends the real with the surreal.

The painting depicts the biblical scene with a sense of theatricality and expressionism that would become hallmarks of Ensor's later work. The central figure of Joshua is portrayed with an intense gaze and an outstretched arm, commanding the celestial bodies. The sun, often a focal point in the composition, is rendered with a luminosity that contrasts with the darker tones of the surrounding landscape and the tumultuous sky. Ensor's use of vivid colors and dynamic brushwork contributes to the painting's emotional impact and its sense of movement.

"Joshua Stops the Sun, 1885" is considered an important work in James Ensor's oeuvre, reflecting his interest in religious narratives and his innovative approach to painting. The piece is emblematic of the artist's transition from realism to a more symbolic and expressionistic style, which would influence future avant-garde movements. The painting is housed in a notable museum collection, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, as well as its place within the broader context of late 19th-century European art.
