"Balthasar's Feast" is a painting attributed to Lambert Sustris, a Dutch painter who was active during the Renaissance period, particularly known for his work in Italy. While Sustris is primarily recognized for his portraits and mythological scenes, "Balthasar's Feast" represents a foray into biblical subject matter, depicting the narrative from the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament.

The painting illustrates the dramatic moment from the story of Belshazzar's feast, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar uses sacred vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem to toast his gods, only to witness a disembodied hand appear and write a mysterious message on the wall, which is later interpreted by the prophet Daniel as a portent of the king's downfall.

Lambert Sustris's rendition of this scene is noted for its Mannerist style, characterized by elongated figures, sophisticated color schemes, and a complex composition that reflects the tension and astonishment of the event. The artwork captures the opulence of the feast and the sudden shift to fear and wonder as the divine message is inscribed.

The exact date of "Balthasar's Feast" is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have been painted in the mid-16th century, during Sustris's time in Venice, where he was influenced by the Venetian masters of color and light, such as Titian, with whom he is thought to have collaborated.

As with many works of art from this period, the provenance of "Balthasar's Feast" may not be fully documented, and the painting's attribution to Lambert Sustris is based on stylistic analysis and historical records of his oeuvre. The painting is considered an important example of Northern Renaissance artists' contributions to the Italian-dominated art scene of the time.

"Balthasar's Feast" by Lambert Sustris is a significant work that reflects the cultural and artistic exchanges between the Netherlands and Italy during the Renaissance. It remains an intriguing piece for scholars interested in the cross-pollination of artistic ideas and the interpretation of biblical themes in the visual arts.
