EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Feast of Belshazzar" a masterpiece from the first third of the 17th century. The painting, created by an anonymous artist known as the Master of Belshazzar's Feast, depicts a grand banquet in ancient Babylon. In this biblical scene from the Book of Daniel, King Belshazzar and his guests revel in opulence and excess. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and merriment as they indulge in fine food and wine. However, their joy is soon shattered when a mysterious hand appears, writing on the wall before them. The artist skillfully portrays the tension and fear that grips both king and guests as they try to decipher this prophetic message. Through vibrant colors and intricate details, every emotion is brought to life on this oil-on-wood masterpiece. "The Feast of Belshazzar" not only showcases remarkable Baroque artistry but also serves as a reminder of humanity's fallibility. It highlights themes such as power, hubris, divine intervention, and ultimately our mortality. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. Fine Art Images/Heritage Images has beautifully captured every brushstroke so that viewers can immerse themselves in this timeless tale from ancient Babylonia.
