"Belisarius Begging for Alms", Jacques-Louis David

About the Artwork

This poignant masterpiece captures the tragic fate of Belisarius, a once-great Roman general fallen into destitution and blindness. Imagine the ancient streets—the proud warrior now reduced to begging, his armor rusted, and his eyes clouded. The compassionate stranger, unaware of Belisarius’s identity, offers alms. David’s brushwork conveys raw emotion—the tension between pride and humility. As you contemplate this canvas, you step into a narrative of power, betrayal, and the fragility of human existence. Own a piece of history; let “Belisarius Begging for Alms” grace your walls—a conversation starter that echoes empathy and resilience.
