"The Plague of Ashdod" is a renowned oil painting by the French Baroque painter Nicolas Poussin. Completed in 1630, the artwork is inspired by the biblical account of the plague inflicted upon the Philistine city of Ashdod as described in the First Book of Samuel. The narrative follows the capture of the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines and the subsequent divine retribution that befell them.

Poussin, known for his mastery in depicting historical and mythological subjects, illustrates this dramatic event with a focus on human suffering and divine wrath. The painting is characterized by its classical composition, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the emotional intensity of the figures portrayed. It showcases Poussin's skill in conveying narrative through art, with each character's posture and expression contributing to the overall impact of the scene.

The work is a prime example of Poussin's early style, which combines the influences of the Renaissance and the burgeoning Baroque movement. His attention to detail and the careful arrangement of the composition reflect his study of the Italian masters, while the dynamic energy of the scene is indicative of the Baroque's emphasis on emotion and movement.

"The Plague of Ashdod" was commissioned by the notable art patron Cardinal de Richelieu and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. It stands as a testament to Poussin's reputation as a leading painter of the classical French Baroque style and remains an important piece for the study of 17th-century European art.
