"Le Festin d'Absalom" (also known as "The Banquet of Absalom") is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Matthias Stom (also spelled Stomer or Stohmer), who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Stom, known for his Caravaggisti style, was influenced by the dramatic chiaroscuro and intense emotional expressions characteristic of Caravaggio's work. The painting depicts the biblical story of Absalom, a son of King David, who orders the murder of his brother Amnon at a feast, as recounted in the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament.

This artwork is significant for its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to heighten the tension and emotion of the scene. Stom's mastery in capturing the psychological intensity of the moment is evident as the viewer's attention is drawn to the central action through the interplay of light, composition, and the focused gazes of the figures. The painting's date of creation is not precisely known, but it is generally attributed to Stom's mature period, likely painted when he was working in Southern Italy, where he spent a significant portion of his career.

"Le Festin d'Absalom" is an example of Stom's contribution to the spread of Caravaggism in Europe, demonstrating how Northern European artists adopted and adapted the Italian master's techniques to their own artistic contexts. The painting is held in high regard for its historical and artistic value, offering insight into the cultural and artistic exchanges of the 17th century. The current location of the painting is not universally agreed upon, as Stom's works are dispersed across various collections and museums, and the provenance of many of his pieces, including this one, can be difficult to trace due to the limited documentation from the period.
