Banquet of Belshazzar 

Leonaert Bramer's "Banquet of Belshazzar" is a masterful drawing depicting a scene from the Old Testament, where the Babylonian king Belshazzar is shown at a lavish feast. The artwork showcases Bramer's skill in capturing the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings through delicate lines and shading. The scene is filled with a sense of grandeur and luxury, contrasting with the looming sense of doom that hangs over the king's fate. This black chalk drawing is a prime example of Bramer's style, known for its precise detail and realistic portrayal of historical subjects. This drawing, currently housed at the Städel Museum, provides a glimpse into the rich artistic tradition of the Dutch Golden Age and highlights the enduring power of Biblical narratives in art.
