Daniel Interpreting to Belshazzar the Writing on the Wall

Artist: Benjamin West (English, born America), 1738–1820

Date: 1775

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

Description

This painting tells a dramatic biblical story from the 6th century BCE. Babylonian king Belshazzar, in blue robes, committed an act of sacrilege by using sacred Jewish vessels during a lavish feast. When mysterious writing appeared on the wall, the prophet Daniel, clad in brownish-red robes, interpreted the message to foretell the downfall of the king’s empire. Within hours, Belshazzar was dead.

Artist: Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (English, 1802–1873)

Date: 1829

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Saint Louis Art Museum, Saint Louis, Missouri, United States

Description

This painting illustrates Sir Walter Scott's poem "Helvellyn," about a faithful dog that guarded her master's body after he had fallen while mountain climbing. Though the body went undiscovered for three months, the dog stayed to ward off the ravens and foxes that might have scavenged the remains. Edwin Henry Landseer dramatizes this scene through vivid contrasts of light and shadow, and by placing the man's body at the bottom of the composition, which emphasizes the great height from which it fell.
