"Jezebel" is a painting by the British artist John Byam Liston Shaw (1872–1919), created in 1896. The work is a vivid depiction of the biblical character Jezebel, a Phoenician princess who became a queen in the Kingdom of Israel as the wife of King Ahab. Known for her role in the Old Testament as a figure who promoted the worship of the Canaanite deity Baal, Jezebel's story is often associated with themes of seduction, manipulation, and defiance of the Hebrew God.

Byam Liston Shaw, a painter associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and later the Arts and Crafts Movement, was known for his attention to detail, rich coloration, and often moral or literary themes. In "Jezebel," he captures the moment of the queen's adornment and preparation to confront Jehu, an act described in the Second Book of Kings. The painting reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in biblical and historical subjects, rendered with a blend of realism and symbolism.

The artwork is characterized by its intricate composition and the use of sumptuous colors to convey the opulence and decadence associated with Jezebel's court. Shaw's portrayal of Jezebel is both alluring and menacing, reflecting the duality of her character as seen through the lens of Victorian morality. The painting invites viewers to consider the complex interplay of power, religion, and gender in the ancient narrative.

"Jezebel" by John Byam Liston Shaw is part of the collection of the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum in Bournemouth, England. The painting remains a significant example of Byam Shaw's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring fascination with the figure of Jezebel in art and culture.
