EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Frederic James Shields, depicting the biblical figure of Daniel from the Old Testament. Painted in 1910 on a grand canvas measuring 169x50.8 cm, this oil painting resides within the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in West Midlands, UK. Shields' masterpiece was originally intended as a design for a stained glass window adorning the Chapel of the Ascension along Bayswater Road in London. Sadly, this magnificent chapel met its tragic fate during World War I when it was destroyed by a bomb. However, this photograph allows us to appreciate and preserve Shields' artistic vision. The image portrays Daniel as an elderly man with a long flowing beard and wise eyes that seem to hold ancient secrets. Standing confidently before him is an angelic figure, symbolizing divine guidance and protection. The presence of a majestic lion hints at one of Daniel's most famous stories - his miraculous survival in the den of lions. Through intricate brushstrokes and rich colors, Shields captures both religious devotion and human vulnerability within this stunning piece. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared spiritual heritage but also of art's ability to transcend time and connect us with profound narratives from centuries past. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are invited to reflect on faith, courage, and resilience - timeless themes that continue to resonate with audiences today.
