"Ladder for the Cave of the Golden Calf" is a painting by the British artist Spencer Frederick Gore (1878–1914), who was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century British art scene and the founder of the Camden Town Group of artists. Completed in 1912, this work is a significant example of Gore's exploration of urban subjects and his interest in capturing the vibrancy of London's cultural life during the Edwardian era.

The painting depicts the interior of the Cave of the Golden Calf, a notorious and short-lived nightclub located in London's Heddon Street. The club, which operated from 1912 to 1914, was known for its bohemian clientele and avant-garde entertainment, and it became an emblem of the city's decadent nightlife before the outbreak of World War I. The name of the club references the biblical story of the Golden Calf, suggesting an environment of idolatry and hedonism.

Gore's work captures the club's interior with a dynamic composition that emphasizes the steep perspective of a ladder leading up to a balcony. The use of bold colors and strong geometric forms reflects the influence of Post-Impressionism and Fauvism on Gore's style. The painting also exhibits his interest in the effects of artificial light, which he uses to create a sense of atmosphere and depth.

"Ladder for the Cave of the Golden Calf" is notable for its historical and cultural significance, as it provides a glimpse into the social milieu of pre-war London and the city's burgeoning modernist movement. The painting is also an important example of Gore's contribution to the development of modern art in Britain, demonstrating his ability to synthesize contemporary artistic trends with his own unique vision.

As a work of art, "Ladder for the Cave of the Golden Calf" has been discussed in the context of early 20th-century British painting and the broader narrative of modernism. It is often included in exhibitions and scholarly works that examine the period and the artists associated with the Camden Town Group. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing it to be accessed and appreciated by audiences interested in the history of British art and the cultural landscape of London during this transformative period.
