"Belshazzar's Feast" is a renowned painting by the English Romantic artist John Martin, created in 1820. This work is celebrated for its dramatic depiction of the biblical story from the Book of Daniel, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar witnesses a divine hand writing on the palace wall during a lavish feast, foretelling the fall of his empire. Martin's painting is distinguished by its monumental scale, intricate detail, and the use of light to emphasize the supernatural event, characteristics that align with his reputation for creating vast, imaginative landscapes and scenes filled with apocalyptic fervor.

The painting captures the moment of divine intervention with a masterful use of chiaroscuro, illuminating the ghostly hand and the horrified expressions of the feast's attendees, while the rest of the scene is engulfed in shadow. This technique not only highlights the central event but also contributes to the overall atmosphere of doom. Martin's work is a prime example of Romanticism's fascination with the sublime and the catastrophic, exploring themes of divine judgment, human hubris, and the fall of empires with a dramatic intensity that was designed to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

"Belshazzar's Feast" quickly became one of John Martin's most famous works, admired for its imaginative power and technical brilliance. It has been interpreted as a reflection of contemporary anxieties about political upheaval and the fragility of human achievements in the face of divine will. Over the years, the painting has maintained its status as an iconic piece of British art from the Romantic period, held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It continues to be studied and admired for its visionary approach and its capacity to capture the imagination, making it a pivotal work in the oeuvre of John Martin and a lasting contribution to the legacy of Romantic art.
