Belshazzar's Feast

This artwork reimagines Belshazzar's Feast, showing the lavishness of the Babylonian king’s court alongside a divine warning that seals Belshazzar's fate. The figures in the painting, shown with strong, expressive strokes, capture the moment of shock as a mysterious hand writes the fateful words on the wall: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. Belshazzar, dressed in luxurious clothing, recoils in fear. His face is partially hidden, but his fear is clear. His court includes a mix of dark-skinned and mixed-race figures, enhancing the story. The golden glow of the writing stands out against the dark, swirling shadows, symbolizing the judgment that is about to come. Through movement, texture, and color, this piece brings new life to a story of pride, divine justice, and the fall of a kingdom.
