"The Battle of Joshua with the Amalekites" is a 1625 painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin. This work is a significant example of Poussin's early narrative style, which combines classical influences with a dynamic representation of historical and biblical events. The painting depicts the biblical story from the Book of Exodus, where Joshua leads the Israelites against the Amalekites, a nomadic tribe attacking the Israelites as they journeyed through the desert after their exodus from Egypt.

In the foreground of the painting, Poussin vividly illustrates the chaos and violence of battle, with soldiers engaged in fierce combat. The composition is carefully structured, leading the viewer's eye across the tumultuous scene of clashing warriors to the serene figure of Moses, who is depicted on a hilltop in the background, his arms raised in prayer for the Israelites' victory. According to the biblical narrative, as long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites prevailed, but when he lowered them, the Amalekites gained the upper hand. To ensure their success, Aaron and Hur are shown supporting Moses' arms, symbolizing the power of faith and perseverance.

Poussin's use of color, light, and shadow in this painting serves to heighten the drama and emphasize the contrast between the earthly struggle and the divine intervention. The artist's attention to detail in the armor and weapons of the soldiers reflects his study of ancient Roman artifacts and his commitment to historical accuracy.

"The Battle of Joshua with the Amalekites" is considered an important work in Poussin's oeuvre, showcasing his mastery of historical narrative and his ability to convey complex theological themes through art. The painting is also an example of Poussin's influence on the development of French classical painting, setting the stage for the grand manner that would characterize the French Academy in the following century. It remains a testament to Poussin's reputation as a leading painter of his time, known for his intellectual approach to art and his dedication to the principles of order, clarity, and harmony.
