EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Quint Lox beautifully captures the essence of Crispijn de Passe I's engraving after Maarten de Vos' renowned painting "Belshazzar's Feast". The image depicts a scene from the biblical story in which King Belshazzar of Babylon hosts a lavish feast and uses sacred vessels taken from the temple in Jerusalem. Suddenly, a mysterious hand appears and writes on the wall, foretelling the downfall of Belshazzar's kingdom. Lox skillfully brings out the intricate details and dramatic elements of this historical artwork. The delicate engravings on laid paper showcase De Passe's exceptional talent as an engraver, while also highlighting De Vos' mastery in capturing human emotions and grandeur. The composition is filled with rich symbolism that adds depth to the narrative. From Belshazzar's startled expression to his courtiers' awe-struck faces, every figure tells a story within this mesmerizing scene. Lox expertly plays with light and shadow to enhance these nuances, creating a visual experience that draws viewers into this ancient tale. This print serves as both an homage to two influential Dutch artists from centuries past and as a testament to Lox's own artistic vision. It invites us to reflect on themes such as power, hubris, divine intervention, and consequences – timeless topics that continue to resonate today.
