"Belshazzar's Feast" is a painting by the British artist John Martin, renowned for his dramatic and apocalyptic landscapes. Created in 1820, this work is a quintessential example of Martin's fascination with biblical and fantastical themes, showcasing his ability to blend sublime landscapes with historical and religious narratives. The painting depicts the biblical story from the Book of Daniel, where Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, hosts a lavish feast using sacred vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem. During the feast, a divine hand appears, writing on the wall the words "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN," foretelling the fall of Belshazzar's empire.

Measuring 52.5 by 76.8 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Martin to achieve intricate details and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, enhancing the painting's theatrical effect. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural and figural details, set against a vast, imposing architectural backdrop that emphasizes the insignificance of humans in the face of divine power.

"Belshazzar's Feast" is celebrated for its innovative composition and its ability to convey a sense of awe and terror, capturing the viewer's imagination. The painting's dramatic depiction of light, its rich color palette, and the dynamic arrangement of figures reflect Martin's skills in creating visually compelling narratives that explore themes of destruction, prophecy, and divine judgment.

This painting holds a significant place in the history of British art and has been influential in shaping the visual language of the Romantic period. It is not only a testament to John Martin's mastery over his medium but also a reflection of the 19th-century fascination with biblical stories and the sublime. Today, "Belshazzar's Feast" is considered one of Martin's masterpieces, admired for its artistic and historical significance, and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of romanticism in art.
