"The Judgement of Daniel" is a significant painting by the British artist John Rogers Herbert, completed in 1853. Herbert, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, is known for his historical and religious works that often reflect meticulous attention to detail and a deep engagement with biblical themes. This particular painting illustrates the biblical story of Daniel, a young Hebrew prophet, who is called upon to interpret the mysterious writing on the wall during King Belshazzar's feast, as recounted in the Book of Daniel, Chapter 5.

The painting captures the dramatic moment when Daniel, standing with a composed and solemn demeanor, deciphers the divine message that foretells the fall of the Babylonian empire. Herbert's composition is marked by its vivid portrayal of the contrasting emotions among the figures present: the king's alarm and fear, the courtiers' astonishment, and Daniel's serene confidence. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the tension of the scene, with the supernatural writing glowing eerily on the wall, casting an otherworldly light that underscores the gravity of the prophecy.

Herbert's work is notable for its historical accuracy and rich symbolism. The opulent setting, with its intricate details of Babylonian architecture and attire, reflects Herbert's dedication to historical authenticity. The painting also embodies the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of truth to nature and moral earnestness, as it not only depicts a biblical event but also conveys a moral lesson about divine justice and the consequences of hubris.

"The Judgement of Daniel" was well-received in its time and remains an important example of mid-19th century British religious art. It exemplifies Herbert's skill in narrative painting and his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. The painting is part of the collection of the Tate Britain, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
