Painting Description
Belshazzar's Feast, created around 1600 by a follower of Jan Harmensz. Mutter, is an evocative painting that captures a dramatic biblical scene with rich detail and vibrant composition. The artwork is inspired by the story of Belshazzar's Feast from the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar holds a grand banquet using sacred vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem. During the feast, a mysterious hand appears and writes a cryptic message on the wall, foretelling the king's downfall and the fall of Babylon.

Mutter, employs a vivid palette and intricate detailing to bring the scene to life. The composition is marked by a sense of urgency and chaos, with figures reacting in shock and awe to the supernatural writing on the wall. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark, enhances the dramatic tension and highlights the central elements of the narrative.
