Belshazzar's Feast
Date: 1635 Style: Baroque Genre: religious painting Media: oil, canvas Location: National Gallery, London, UK Dimensions: 209.2 x 167.6 cm Rembrandt based this painting off of the story of Belshazzar as well as the writing on the wall in Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Although Amsterdam was part of the Holy Roman Empire at the time, it also had a large Jewish population, and so this is a story of which many of Rembrant’s contemporaries would have been familiar. The artist’s intention at the time was to create a portrait of a religious story to which the public, who were largely illiterate, could refer. Rembrandt produced many stories from the bible for the same purpose, including Return of the Prodigal Son and Christ with the Sick around Him. Rembrandt oparł ten obraz na historii Baltazara, a także na napisie na ścianie w Księdze Daniela w Starym Testamencie. Chociaż Amsterdam był wówczas częścią Świętego Cesarstwa Rzymskiego, miał również dużą populację żydowską, więc jest to historia, z którą wielu współczesnych Rembrandta było zaznajomionych. Zamiarem artysty w tamtym czasie było stworzenie portretu historii religijnej, do której mogłaby się odnieść publiczność, która w większości była analfabetami. Rembrandt stworzył wiele historii z Biblii w tym samym celu, w tym Powrót syna marnotrawnego i Chrystusa z chorymi wokół niego
