"The Gospel of the Poor" (Danish: "De fattiges evangelium"), also known as "The Worker's Gospel," is a notable painting by Danish artist Jens Birkholm, created in 1895. Birkholm, who lived from 1869 to 1915, was a prominent figure in the social realist movement in Denmark, and his work often depicted the lives of the working class and the poor, highlighting the social issues of his time.

The painting is a significant example of Birkholm's commitment to social realism, as it portrays a group of workers gathered around a figure who is reading aloud, presumably from the Bible. The title suggests a religious dimension to the work, with the 'gospel' or 'good news' being shared among the impoverished laborers, perhaps offering a message of hope or solidarity in the face of hardship.

"The Gospel of the Poor" is characterized by its somber tones and the empathetic portrayal of its subjects. Birkholm's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the realistic details of the workers' expressions and attire, contribute to the painting's emotional impact. The work invites viewers to consider the social conditions of the time and the role of religion and community in providing comfort or inspiration to the disenfranchised.

As a significant piece of Danish art history, "The Gospel of the Poor" reflects the broader European trend of social realism in the late 19th century, where artists sought to draw attention to the plight of the lower classes and to advocate for social reform through their art. The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit as well as its historical and cultural significance, offering insight into the societal concerns of the period and the empathy of artists like Birkholm for the struggles of the common people.
