EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Feast of Belshazzar, Jan Harmensz. Muller, 1596 - 1600" takes us back in time to the grandeur and drama of ancient Babylon. The artist skillfully captures the intense atmosphere of King Belshazzar's feast as described in the biblical story. In this stunning image, we witness a moment frozen in time - King Belshazzar himself appears startled and frightened by an otherworldly presence. Surrounded by his courtiers and women, he stands before a magnificent gate leading to the city wall. A lavish table is adorned with stolen cups and bowls from the temple in Jerusalem, symbolizing his arrogance and disrespect towards divine power. Jan Harmensz. Muller's attention to detail is remarkable; every expression on the faces of those present tells a story. The fear etched on their faces mirrors our own curiosity about what lies beyond that gate. As we gaze at this artwork from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world filled with intrigue and mystery. We can almost hear whispers among the guests as they try to comprehend the meaning behind Mene, Tekel, Parsin – words mysteriously appearing on the wall during this fateful feast. This print serves as a reminder that even kings must face consequences for their actions and that no one is above divine judgment. It invites us to reflect upon our own choices while marveling at both human folly and artistic brilliance captured within
