EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the biblical story of Daniel in the Lions Den. Mezzotinted by J. B. Pratt and beautifully hand-colored, this piece was published by Thomas Agnew and Sons in 1892. The image depicts a scene from the Old Testament where Daniel, a faithful servant of God, finds himself surrounded by ferocious lions in their den. Despite being thrown into this perilous situation as punishment for his unwavering devotion to his beliefs, Daniel remains calm and unafraid. The artist, Briton Riviere (1840-1920), skillfully captures the tension and drama of this iconic tale. The intricate details bring each element to life - from the majestic yet menacing presence of the lions to Daniel's serene expression as he kneels before them. This mezzotint serves as a powerful reminder of religious faith and its ability to overcome even the most daunting challenges. It symbolizes courage, trust in divine protection, and steadfastness amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into an ancient world filled with wild animals and profound spirituality. It is a testament to Christianity's rich history and enduring significance. Housed within a private collection but now made accessible through photography courtesy of eBonhams London UK, this print allows us all to appreciate its beauty regardless of our location or affiliation. Let us reflect on the timeless message conveyed through "Daniel in the Lions Den" - that no matter how fierce our trials may be or how insurmountable they seem at times, faith can guide us through even when faced with seemingly impossible odds.
