"The Death of Belshazzar" is a significant work by the French Baroque painter Jacques Stella, who was active during the early to mid-17th century. Stella, known for his refined classical style and meticulous attention to detail, created this painting to depict a dramatic and pivotal moment from the biblical narrative found in the Book of Daniel. The artwork captures the climactic scene where Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon, witnesses the mysterious writing on the wall during a lavish feast, foretelling his imminent downfall and death.

Jacques Stella, born in 1596 in Lyon, France, was heavily influenced by his time in Italy, particularly in Rome, where he was exposed to the works of Caravaggio and the Carracci brothers. His style is characterized by a blend of classical composition and a keen sense of realism, which is evident in "The Death of Belshazzar." The painting is a testament to Stella's ability to convey intense emotion and narrative through his use of light, shadow, and composition.

In "The Death of Belshazzar," Stella masterfully uses chiaroscuro to highlight the central figures and create a sense of impending doom. The king is depicted in a state of shock and terror as he gazes upon the divine message, while his courtiers and guests react with varying degrees of fear and confusion. The opulent setting, with its rich textures and intricate details, contrasts sharply with the ominous tone of the scene, emphasizing the sudden and dramatic nature of Belshazzar's fate.

This painting not only showcases Stella's technical prowess but also reflects the broader Baroque interest in dynamic storytelling and emotional intensity. "The Death of Belshazzar" remains an important work within Stella's oeuvre and a notable example of 17th-century French Baroque art.
