"Job on the Dung Heap" is a notable miniature painting by the French artist Jean Fouquet, created in the mid-15th century. This work is part of a richly illuminated manuscript known as the "Hours of Étienne Chevalier," which contains a collection of prayers and devotional texts for the use of the layman Étienne Chevalier, Treasurer of France under King Charles VII. The miniature is particularly significant for its vivid portrayal of the biblical figure Job, an exemplar of patience and endurance in the face of suffering.

The painting depicts the Old Testament story of Job, who is shown seated on a dung heap, covered in sores, as he endures the trials sent by Satan to test his faith. His wife is also present in the scene, and she appears to be scolding Job, as recounted in the Book of Job. The miniature is a masterful example of Fouquet's ability to convey complex emotions and narrative through his art. The use of color, detail, and composition reflects the influence of both Gothic and early Renaissance artistic styles, which is characteristic of Fouquet's work.

Jean Fouquet is widely regarded as one of the most important French painters of the 15th century, and his contributions to the art of illumination were particularly influential. His innovative approach to perspective and his incorporation of classical motifs set new standards for the representation of space and narrative in European art. "Job on the Dung Heap" stands as a testament to Fouquet's skill in blending traditional Gothic elements with the emerging Renaissance sensibility, making it an important piece in the study of the transition between these two periods in art history.

The "Hours of Étienne Chevalier" is housed in the Musée Condé, Chantilly, France, and "Job on the Dung Heap" remains one of its most studied and admired miniatures. The work is not only a reflection of Fouquet's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the religious and cultural context of 15th-century France. As such, it continues to attract the attention of art historians and enthusiasts alike.
