Painting Description
"Belshazzar's Feast" is a painting by the English Romantic painter John Martin, created in 1820. The painting depicts the biblical story of the feast of Belshazzar, where a divine hand writes on the wall, foretelling the fall of the Babylonian Empire. Martin's work is renowned for its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as its grandiose and apocalyptic themes. The painting is part of a series that explores similar biblical and mythological subjects, showcasing Martin's fascination with the sublime and the catastrophic.
In "Belshazzar's Feast," Martin captures the moment of terror and awe as the hand inscribes the mysterious message "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," which is interpreted by the prophet Daniel to mean that God has judged Belshazzar's reign and found it wanting, and that his kingdom will be divided and given to the Medes and Persians. The artwork is characterized by its vast architectural scale and the contrast between the opulent celebration of the Babylonian court and the ominous divine intervention.
The painting is a prime example of Martin's skill in creating epic landscapes and architectural vistas that evoke a sense of overwhelming power and divine wrath. It is often cited as a key work in the Romantic movement, reflecting the period's preoccupation with history, religion, and the natural world as sources of emotional experience and artistic inspiration.
"Belshazzar's Feast" by John Martin is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its impact on the Romantic art movement. It continues to be studied and admired for its ambitious scale, its evocative portrayal of biblical narrative, and its influence on the visual arts, particularly in the genre of historical and religious painting.
