"Belshazzar's Feast" is a renowned painting by the English Romantic artist John Martin, created in 1820. This work is celebrated for its dramatic interpretation of the biblical story from the Book of Daniel, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar witnesses a divine hand writing on the wall during a lavish feast, foretelling the fall of his empire. Martin's painting is distinguished by its grand scale, measuring approximately 68 inches by 107 inches, and is housed in the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, Connecticut.

John Martin, known for his spectacular and apocalyptic landscapes, employs his characteristic attention to detail and dramatic use of light and shadow in "Belshazzar's Feast" to evoke a sense of awe and impending doom. The painting masterfully captures the opulence of the Babylonian court and the terror of its inhabitants upon witnessing the miraculous event. The composition is dominated by architectural elements that draw the viewer's eye towards the ghostly inscription on the wall, effectively conveying the story's moral about the hubris of power and the inevitability of divine justice.

"Belshazzar's Feast" quickly became one of Martin's most famous works, celebrated for its imaginative power and technical brilliance. It was widely exhibited in his lifetime, drawing large crowds and influencing contemporary literature and theatre. The painting's dramatic portrayal of biblical themes and its emphasis on the sublime has made it a subject of academic interest in studies of Romanticism and 19th-century art. Through "Belshazzar's Feast," John Martin solidified his reputation as a painter of epic narratives, contributing significantly to the visual culture of the Romantic period.
