This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Belisaurius Asking for Alms designed from a painting by Jacques-Louis David shows Belisaurius, the once great Byzantine general falsely accused of treason (plotting against the emperor) and as punishment was blinded, stripped of his wealth and forced to beg for alms from the general public. This shows a reversal of fortune, an unjust fall from grace and that life is not always fair. This is the first in a series of paintings by this artist done in the neoclassicism style where true life no matter how brutal is portrayed here. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
