EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Belshazzar's Feast, Daniel V, ver 5" takes us back to the biblical era with its intricate details and dramatic storytelling. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is a part of a private collection. The scene depicted here is from the Book of Daniel in the Bible. Belshazzar, the Babylonian king known for his extravagant feasts and revelry, is seen surrounded by his courtiers and guests. The atmosphere exudes pomp and power as they indulge in bold impiety without heeding any warnings. However, amidst their merriment, a momentous event unfolds that will change their lives forever. A mysterious hand appears out of thin air and writes words on the wall using flame-like letters. This supernatural occurrence casts a gloom over the feast as it appalls both monarch and attendees alike. The engraving skillfully captures this pivotal moment when Belshazzar realizes that these words fortell his doom. The forked lightning outside further emphasizes the impending catastrophe while also alluding to meteorology and scientific methods used to study weather patterns. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how ancient stories intertwine with our understanding of science today. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with both scripture and scientific exploration throughout history.
