Belshazzar Daniel Feast Hebrew Meal Old Testament Wall Writing Writing On The Wall
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "BELSHAZZAR's FEAST" and created by an American artist in 1873, transports us back to the ancient biblical story of Daniel 5. The scene depicts a grand feast hosted by Belshazzar, the King of Babylon, as described in the Old Testament. The image showcases a lavish banquet hall adorned with intricate details that capture the opulence and extravagance of the occasion. Guests are seen seated around a long table, engrossed in conversation and indulging in sumptuous delicacies. The atmosphere is vibrant and filled with anticipation. However, what sets this artwork apart is its focal point - a mysterious inscription on the wall behind Belshazzar. This writing has appeared miraculously during the feast, leaving everyone perplexed and fearful. It is said that only Daniel possesses the ability to interpret these divine messages from God. The wood engraving beautifully captures both the splendor of Belshazzar's feast and the underlying tension caused by this supernatural occurrence. It invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as power, arrogance, faithfulness to one's beliefs, and consequences for one's actions. As we gaze at this remarkable print from The Granger Collection in New York, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space while offering insights into historical events recorded centuries ago.
