EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring marble sculpture of "Daniel in the Lion Pit" by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Created between 1656 and 1661, this masterpiece can be found in the Basilica di Santa Maria del Popolo's Chigi Chapel in Rome, Italy. The sculpture depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Book of Daniel, where Daniel is thrown into a pit filled with ferocious lions. Despite his perilous situation, Daniel remains calm and unharmed as he kneels before one of the majestic creatures. The intricate details of both Daniel and the lion are expertly carved into the marble, showcasing Bernini's exceptional skill as a sculptor. The composition exudes a sense of tension and drama, with every muscle and expression perfectly captured. The flowing drapery adds an ethereal quality to the scene while emphasizing Daniel's vulnerability against nature's might. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable artwork, they are reminded not only of Bernini's genius but also of their own faith and resilience. It serves as a testament to human strength in times of adversity and our ability to find solace even amidst chaos. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this iconic sculpture through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its magnificence for generations to come.
