"Belshazzar's Feast" is a monumental painting by the British artist John Martin, completed in 1820. This work is renowned for its dramatic depiction of the biblical story of Belshazzar's Feast, as recounted in the Book of Daniel. The painting captures the moment when a disembodied hand appears and writes a mysterious message on the wall during a lavish banquet hosted by King Belshazzar of Babylon. The message, "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin," is interpreted by the prophet Daniel as a divine judgment foretelling the fall of Belshazzar's kingdom.

John Martin's "Belshazzar's Feast" is celebrated for its grand scale and intricate detail, measuring approximately 10 feet by 15 feet. The composition is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, creating a sense of impending doom and divine intervention. The painting's vast architectural setting, with towering columns and opulent decorations, underscores the grandeur and decadence of Belshazzar's court, while the terrified expressions of the figures convey the shock and awe of the moment.

Martin's work is a quintessential example of the Romantic movement in art, which emphasized emotion, imagination, and the sublime. His ability to blend historical and biblical themes with a sense of the supernatural made him one of the most popular and influential artists of his time. "Belshazzar's Feast" was exhibited to great acclaim and solidified Martin's reputation as a master of epic historical and religious scenes.

The painting is also notable for its technical innovations. Martin employed a meticulous technique, using layers of glazes to achieve a luminous effect. His use of perspective and scale creates a sense of depth and grandeur that draws the viewer into the scene. "Belshazzar's Feast" remains one of John Martin's most iconic works and a significant example of 19th-century British art.
