"Israelites Oppressed," also known as "The Oppression of the Israelites," is a significant mural by the American artist John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). This work is part of Sargent's larger commission for the Boston Public Library, specifically designed for the library's McKim Building. Created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this mural is one of a series that explores the theme of the development of religion as part of Sargent's broader project titled "The Triumph of Religion."

Sargent, primarily known for his portraiture, ventured into the realm of public murals with this commission, showcasing his versatility and depth as an artist. "Israelites Oppressed" depicts the suffering and subjugation of the Israelite people, drawing on biblical narratives to convey themes of struggle, faith, and perseverance. The work is emblematic of Sargent's interest in religious and historical themes, and it reflects his meticulous research and innovative approach to mural painting.

The mural is characterized by its dramatic composition, rich color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures portrayed. Sargent's use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, brings a dynamic quality to the scene, highlighting the plight of the Israelites in a poignant and evocative manner. Through "Israelites Oppressed," Sargent not only contributes to the visual and aesthetic enrichment of the Boston Public Library but also engages with profound spiritual and existential questions, inviting viewers to reflect on the human condition and the historical cycles of suffering and redemption.

"Israelites Oppressed" is considered an important work within Sargent's oeuvre and the broader context of American mural painting. It exemplifies the artist's technical skill, his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art, and his contribution to the cultural and intellectual life of his time. The mural remains on display at the Boston Public Library, where it continues to be admired by visitors and studied by scholars for its artistic and historical significance.
