The Feast of Belshazzar
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking painting by Vittorio Maria Bigari that captures the essence of an ancient biblical tale. This tempera on canvas print, measuring 120x95 cm, can be found in the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna, Italy. The artwork depicts a grand banquet held by King Belshazzar of Babylon from the Old Testament. The opulent scene showcases a lavish table adorned with holy vessels and illuminated by a magnificent chandelier. The king and his courtiers indulge in extravagant feasting and entertainment while oblivious to the impending doom. However, amidst this display of luxury, there is an eerie twist. A mysterious hand emerges from thin air to write cryptic words on the wall behind Belshazzar. This divine warning foretells his imminent downfall due to his sinful ways. Bigari's masterful brushstrokes bring life to this religious narrative as it unfolds before our eyes. The painting not only highlights themes of sin, curse, and redemption but also emphasizes the power dynamics between kings and prophets like Daniel. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded of the timeless lessons embedded within biblical stories. "The Feast of Belshazzar" serves as both a visual feast for our senses and a cautionary tale about arrogance and hubris that transcends time itself.
