EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring sculpture of "Daniel in the Lions Den" from the 12th century. Created by Romanesque artists, this masterpiece can be found in the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine in Vezelay, France. The photograph, skillfully captured by Pascal Lemaitre, beautifully captures every intricate detail and emotion portrayed within this ancient artwork. The sculpture depicts a pivotal biblical scene where Daniel finds himself surrounded by ferocious lions after refusing to worship false idols. Despite his perilous situation, Daniel remains calm and unharmed due to his unwavering faith in God's protection. This timeless story has been depicted throughout history but is particularly striking in this 12th-century rendition. The craftsmanship exhibited here is truly remarkable; each lion's mane seems to flow with life-like movement while Daniel's expression conveys both courage and trust. The stone-carved capital on which it rests adds an extra layer of grandeur and significance to this religious artwork. Pascal Lemaitre's expert photography allows us to appreciate not only the historical importance of this piece but also its artistic brilliance. This print serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries and invites viewers into a world where faith triumphs over adversity. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time, reminded of our shared cultural heritage and inspired by the enduring power of belief.
