"The Plague of Locusts" is a notable artwork by James Jacques Joseph Tissot, a French painter and illustrator renowned for his detailed depictions of biblical stories and Victorian life. This painting is part of Tissot's extensive series on the Old Testament, which he embarked upon later in his career, illustrating numerous scenes from the Bible with meticulous attention to historical and cultural accuracy. "The Plague of Locusts" specifically portrays one of the ten plagues that, according to the Book of Exodus, were inflicted upon Egypt to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery.

Tissot, born in 1836 and passing in 1902, was initially celebrated for his genre paintings and depictions of fashionable Parisian life. However, a spiritual awakening in the latter part of his life led him to devote himself to religious subjects, culminating in a journey to the Middle East to study landscapes, peoples, and customs firsthand. This journey significantly influenced his biblical works, allowing him to render these ancient stories with an unprecedented level of detail and authenticity.

"The Plague of Locusts" stands out within Tissot's biblical oeuvre for its dynamic representation of this catastrophic event. The artwork captures the overwhelming devastation brought by the locusts, as described in Exodus, while also reflecting Tissot's keen interest in the natural environment and his meticulous approach to depicting the biblical world. Through his use of color, composition, and painstaking detail, Tissot not only conveys the biblical narrative but also invites viewers to consider the human and ecological dimensions of the story.

This painting, like many others in Tissot's biblical series, was part of his ambitious project to illustrate the entire Bible, a project that resulted in a collection of watercolors known as "The Tissot Bible." After Tissot's death, this collection toured internationally, gaining acclaim for its artistic merit and its contribution to biblical scholarship. Today, "The Plague of Locusts," along with the rest of Tissot's biblical works, is valued not only as a piece of religious art but also as a testament to the artist's dedication to blending historical research with artistic expression.
