EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on paper mounted on canvas painting, titled "Daniel in the Lions' Den," was created by the renowned American artist Henry Ossawa Tanner between 1907 and 1918. Although this version is not the original, which was painted in 1895 and displayed at the 1896 Salon in Paris, it remains an impressive testament to Tanner's mastery of color and composition. The painting depicts the biblical story of Daniel, a Hebrew prophet who, after being cast into the lions' den for refusing to defy his faith, emerges unscathed. Tanner's interpretation of the scene is both dramatic and serene, with Daniel standing confidently in the center, surrounded by the ominous, yet tranquil, den. The rich, earthy tones of the painting bring the ancient setting to life, transporting the viewer back in time. Born in the United States in 1859, Tanner is considered one of the first prominent African American artists. His works, which often explored religious and spiritual themes, were widely exhibited in Europe and the United States. This painting, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to Tanner's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in American art history. The painting's title, "Daniel in the Lions' Den," is a reminder of the power of faith and the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. Tanner's masterful use of color and composition invites the viewer to contemplate the timeless message of this Old Testament story, making it a must-see for anyone interested in art, religion, or the history of American culture.
