"Belisarius" is a notable painting by the American artist John Trumbull, created in 1786. Trumbull, who is often celebrated for his historical paintings, particularly those depicting scenes from the American Revolutionary War, ventured into classical themes with this work. The painting portrays the Byzantine general Belisarius, a prominent military commander under Emperor Justinian I, who was renowned for his campaigns that expanded and defended the Byzantine Empire.

In "Belisarius," Trumbull captures a poignant moment of the general's life, reflecting the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the vicissitudes of fortune. According to historical accounts, Belisarius fell out of favor with Emperor Justinian and was allegedly blinded and reduced to begging. Trumbull's depiction is deeply evocative, illustrating the general's fall from grace and the tragic irony of a once-great hero reduced to poverty.

The composition of the painting is marked by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which highlights the emotional intensity of the scene. Trumbull's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex human emotions are evident in the expressions and postures of the figures. The painting not only reflects Trumbull's technical skill but also his interest in moral and philosophical questions, as it invites viewers to contemplate the themes of justice, power, and human dignity.

"Belisarius" is an important work within Trumbull's oeuvre, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his engagement with historical and classical subjects. The painting is a testament to Trumbull's ability to blend historical narrative with artistic expression, making it a significant piece in the study of American art history.
