EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Daniel's Answer to the King, 1890" by Briton Riviere takes us back in time to a powerful biblical narrative. The painting depicts Daniel, with unwavering resolve, standing before the window of his prison cell. Bathed in sunlight that illuminates his face and the stone floor around him, he exudes an aura of faith and belief. To the right, seven tawny lions cautiously prowl in the shadows, keeping their distance from Daniel. Their presence symbolizes danger and impending doom as they serve as instruments of a death sentence. Yet miraculously, they have not harmed him. This masterpiece captures a pivotal moment where Daniel's unwavering faith triumphs over adversity. It showcases his unyielding trust in God's protection even amidst perilous circumstances. The painting's composition skillfully contrasts light and dark elements within the interior setting of the prison cell. This juxtaposition highlights both hope and despair coexisting side by side. As we gaze upon this artwork from Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, we are reminded of the timeless themes present within religious texts such as courage, resilience, and divine intervention. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this profound portrayal for all to appreciate - a testament to humanity's enduring pursuit of spirituality across different cultures and religions throughout history.
