EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt van Rhijn's masterpiece, "Belshazzar's Feast" painted around 1637. Housed in the esteemed National Gallery in London, this painting is a true gem of the Baroque period. In this scene, we witness an opulent royal feast taking place in ancient Babylon as described in the Book of Daniel from the Old Testament. Belshazzar, the tyrannical King of Babylon, hosts his guests amidst lavish surroundings and extravagant delicacies. However, what makes this artwork truly remarkable is its underlying biblical prophecy. As depicted by Rembrandt's masterful brushstrokes, a mysterious hand emerges from thin air to write on the wall behind Belshazzar. This prophetic writing foretells doom for both him and his kingdom—a chilling reminder that no ruler can escape divine judgment. The artist brilliantly captures the tension and disbelief among Belshazzar's guests as they witness this supernatural occurrence unfold before their eyes. Through his use of rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, Rembrandt brings life to every figure present at this momentous event. This exquisite print allows us to appreciate not only Rembrandt's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex narratives through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to why he remains one of history's most revered painters even centuries after his time.
