"Angel and the Prophet Balaam" is a 1626 painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, one of the most prominent artists of the Dutch Golden Age. The work depicts the biblical story of Balaam, a prophet who is stopped on his journey by an angel of the Lord, as recounted in the Book of Numbers 22:22-35. In this narrative, Balaam is on his way to curse the Israelites at the behest of Balak, the Moabite king, when his donkey sees the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword. Balaam, unable to see the angel, beats the donkey until the animal is given the power of speech by God and complains about the mistreatment. Only then is Balaam's vision opened to the angel's presence.

Rembrandt's interpretation of this scene is a striking example of his early work and his engagement with biblical subjects. The painting showcases his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and spiritual significance. It is a testament to Rembrandt's skill in storytelling through visual means, capturing the moment of revelation when Balaam perceives the divine messenger.

Created during a period when Rembrandt was establishing his career in Leiden, "Angel and the Prophet Balaam" reflects the influence of his mentor, Pieter Lastman, in its composition and attention to detail. However, it also demonstrates Rembrandt's burgeoning originality and his exploration of light, shadow, and human psychology.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions over the years. It is considered an important work in Rembrandt's oeuvre, providing insight into the development of his artistic style and his lifelong fascination with biblical themes.
