This man is shown swooning in horror as the title figure of a painting set in a massive colonnaded dining hall by John Martin. In another painting titled for this man, his outstretched left hand appears to cause a servant in a red dress to pour a vase of wine onto her own sleeve. The National Gallery in London now holds a painting titled for this man, in which a disembodied hand draws (*) symbols that were mistranscribed by the artist from the suggestions of Menasseh ben Israel. In that painting, taken from a story in the Book of Daniel, this man wears a crown atop an opulent turban and recoils in horror as portentous Hebrew words appear behind him. For 10 points, name this Babylonian king who observes the "handwriting on the wall" in a painting of his "feast" by Rembrandt.
