"The First Born Of Egypt Smitten" is a dramatic and evocative painting by the British artist William Clarkson Stanfield, created in 1831. Stanfield, primarily known for his marine and landscape paintings, ventured into historical and biblical themes with this work, showcasing his versatility and depth as an artist. The painting captures a poignant and harrowing moment from the biblical narrative of the Plagues of Egypt, specifically the tenth and final plague, where the firstborn sons of the Egyptians were struck down.

Stanfield's composition is marked by its intense emotional impact and meticulous attention to detail. The scene is set in a dimly lit, somber interior, where the grief and despair of the Egyptian family are palpable. The central figure, a grieving mother, cradles her lifeless child, her face a mask of sorrow and disbelief. Surrounding her are other family members, each reacting to the tragedy in their own way, creating a tableau of collective mourning.

The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the dramatic effect of the painting. The dim lighting, punctuated by a few flickering candles, casts long shadows and highlights the anguish on the faces of the figures. Stanfield's skillful brushwork and rich color palette further add to the painting's emotional depth, drawing the viewer into the scene and evoking a sense of empathy and sorrow.

"The First Born Of Egypt Smitten" stands as a testament to Stanfield's ability to convey powerful narratives through his art. While he is celebrated for his maritime scenes, this painting highlights his capability to tackle complex and emotionally charged subjects, solidifying his reputation as a masterful and versatile artist of the 19th century.
