Painting Description
"Belshazzar's Feast" is a renowned illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré, created as part of his larger body of work illustrating the Bible. This particular piece depicts the biblical story of the same name from the Book of Daniel, Chapter 5, in which the Babylonian king Belshazzar holds a great feast using sacred vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem, only to witness a divine hand writing on the palace wall, foretelling his doom.
Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific and influential illustrator, printmaker, painter, and sculptor, known especially for his detailed and imaginative engravings. His works often graced the pages of literary classics, including Dante's "Divine Comedy," Cervantes's "Don Quixote," and the English Bible, bringing to life the narratives with his dramatic and evocative style.
In "Belshazzar's Feast," Doré captures the moment of supernatural intervention with his characteristic attention to detail and mastery of light and shadow. The artwork is marked by the contrast between the revelry of the feast and the terror that strikes the faces of the king and his guests as they behold the mysterious writing. The illustration is not only a testament to Doré's skill as an artist but also reflects the 19th-century fascination with biblical themes and the moral lessons they were thought to convey.
Doré's interpretation of "Belshazzar's Feast" has been widely admired for its artistic merit and its powerful representation of the biblical narrative. It remains an iconic example of biblical illustration and has been referenced in various cultural contexts, underscoring its enduring impact on both religious and artistic communities.
