"Le Festin de Balthazar" (The Feast of Belshazzar) is a notable painting by Ambrosius Francken II, a Flemish painter who was part of the extensive Francken family of artists active in Antwerp during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This work is an interpretation of the biblical story of Belshazzar's feast, as recounted in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 5. The painting depicts the dramatic moment when a divine hand appears and writes on the wall of King Belshazar's palace, foretelling the fall of the Babylonian empire.

Ambrosius Francken II (c. 1590 – 1632) was known for his religious compositions, historical scenes, and genre paintings. He was a prominent member of the second generation of the Francken family, which played a significant role in the development of Flemish art during the transition from Mannerism to Baroque. "Le Festin de Balthazar" is a prime example of his work, showcasing his ability to convey narrative and his skillful use of color and detail to enhance the dramatic effect of the scene.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to the opulence and decadence of the Babylonian court. The composition is typically crowded, with numerous figures reacting in various ways to the miraculous writing on the wall. The use of light and shadow adds to the tension and highlights the contrast between the revelry of the feast and the ominous message being delivered.

"Le Festin de Balthazar" not only serves as an important piece within Francken's oeuvre but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Counter-Reformation period in the Southern Netherlands. The painting's theme of divine judgment was particularly resonant in an era marked by religious conflict and moralizing art.

While the exact date of creation for "Le Festin de Balthazar" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the early 17th century, a period during which Francken was most active and his style fully developed. The painting is held in high regard for its historical and artistic significance and continues to be studied for its interpretation of a pivotal biblical story and its reflection of the artistic trends of its time.
