"The Levite of Ephraim" is an oil painting by French artist Louis Charles Auguste Couder, created in 1840. The painting is based on a biblical story from the Book of Judges, chapters 19-21, which recounts the gruesome tale of the Levite's concubine. In the narrative, the concubine is abused and left for dead by the men of Gibeah, which leads to a brutal war between the tribe of Benjamin and the other Israelite tribes.

Couder's work captures a moment from this harrowing story, often focusing on the dramatic and emotional aspects of the scene. The painting is known for its historical and religious significance, as well as its reflection of the Romantic sensibilities of the time, which emphasized strong emotion as a source of aesthetic experience. The use of light, color, and composition in the painting serves to enhance the dramatic effect and convey the intensity of the biblical narrative.

As an artist, Louis Charles Auguste Couder (1789-1873) was recognized for his historical and genre paintings. He studied under renowned artists such as Jacques-Louis David and was influenced by the neoclassical style, though he also incorporated romantic elements into his work. "The Levite of Ephraim" is considered one of his significant biblical-themed works, contributing to his reputation as a painter who skillfully depicted scenes from history and literature.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris, also known as the Petit Palais. It has been studied in the context of art history for its representation of biblical themes and its place within the broader scope of 19th-century French painting. "The Levite of Ephraim" continues to be of interest to scholars, art enthusiasts, and religious historians for its artistic and cultural portrayal of a pivotal moment from the Hebrew Bible.
