John Stamper writes:
'This
rather terrifying image which I saw at the
“Babylon” exhibition
at the British Museum seems appropriate to Advent with its theme of
the “Four Last Things”. Belshazzar is being
murdered by his
courtiers at the bottom left, and you can just see Daniel above
Belshazzar's head. The Tower of Babel and the Hanging Gardens are
more obvious.'
