"Belshazzar's Feast" is a monumental painting created by the British artist John Martin in 1820. This dramatic and highly detailed work is one of Martin's most famous pieces, showcasing his talent for grandiose and apocalyptic scenes. The painting depicts the biblical story of Belshazzar's Feast from the Book of Daniel, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar holds a lavish banquet using sacred vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem. During the feast, a mysterious hand appears and writes a cryptic message on the wall, which the prophet Daniel interprets as a divine judgment foretelling the fall of Babylon.

John Martin's interpretation of this story is both visually and emotionally striking. The painting captures the moment of divine intervention with a sense of awe and impending doom. Martin employs a dramatic use of light and shadow to highlight the supernatural elements of the scene, with the ghostly hand and the glowing inscription standing out against the darkened hall. The composition is filled with intricate architectural details, opulent decorations, and a multitude of figures, each contributing to the chaotic and tense atmosphere of the feast.

Martin's work is notable for its scale and ambition, reflecting the artist's fascination with epic themes and his skill in creating immersive, theatrical scenes. "Belshazzar's Feast" was well-received upon its exhibition, earning Martin considerable acclaim and solidifying his reputation as a master of the sublime and the spectacular. The painting remains an important example of 19th-century British art, illustrating the era's interest in biblical and historical subjects, as well as the Romantic movement's emphasis on emotion and the sublime. Today, "Belshazzar's Feast" is held in high regard and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
