More about this artwork

John Martin's "Belshazzar’s Feast," painted in 1820, is a stunning visualization of drama and divine wrath depicted through a historical and Biblical lens. This grand painting showcases the story from the Book of Daniel, where Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, hosts a lavish feast using sacred vessels from the Temple in Jerusalem; an act of desecration that leads to his downfall.The painting captures the moment described in Daniel 5, when a ghostly hand appears and writes a mysterious message on the palace wall during the feast, which ultimately spells the doom of Belshazzar’s reign. Martin's portrayal is both theatrical and apocalyptic, filled with a rich contrast of light and shadow. Brilliant beams of light shine upon the horrified face of Belshazzar, while around him, the guests are either gazing in shock or are oblivious to the supernatural event, engrossed in revelry.The setting is grandiose, with towering architecture, deep shadows, and a discerning use of fiery golden and dark tones that amplify the drama. The composition’s depth draws the eye from the ghostly spectral hand toward the expansive hall, filled with arrays of banquet guests, suggesting the magnitude of the palace and the consequential severity of the king's blasphemous actions.

All Artworks

John Martin was an English Romantic painter, engraver and illustrator. He was celebrated for his typically vast and melodramatic paintings of religious subjects and fantastic compositions, populated with minute figures placed in imposing landscapes. Martin's paintings, and the prints made from them, enjoyed great success with the general public—in 1821 Thomas Lawrence referred to him as "the most popular painter of his day"—but were lambasted by John Ruskin and other critics.
