"Balaam's Ass" is a 1626 painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, depicting the biblical story of Balaam from the Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible. The artwork is an early example of Rembrandt's exploration of biblical themes, a subject that would occupy a significant part of his artistic career. In the narrative, Balaam is a prophet who is stopped on his journey by an angel that only his donkey can see. When Balaam beats the animal for refusing to move, it is miraculously given the power to speak and remonstrates with him, opening Balaam's eyes to the angel's presence.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which Rembrandt is renowned for and which he would continue to refine throughout his life. "Balaam's Ass" showcases the young artist's burgeoning skill in rendering narrative detail and emotional depth in his subjects. The work is also notable for its detailed depiction of the figures and the landscape, which adds to the dramatic effect of the scene.

Created when Rembrandt was just 20 years old, "Balaam's Ass" is an early indication of the artist's potential and his understanding of human psychology, as well as his ability to infuse his paintings with a sense of the divine. The painting is held in a private collection and is less well-known than some of Rembrandt's later works, but it remains an important piece in the study of his early development as an artist and his interpretation of religious subjects.
