EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Daniel in the Lions Den" by Henry Ossawa Tanner transports viewers to a moment of intense biblical drama. Painted between 1907 and 1918, this oil on paper mounted on canvas masterpiece showcases Tanner's exceptional talent as an American realist artist. In this scene from the Old Testament, Daniel finds himself surrounded by ferocious lions within their den. However, rather than attacking him, the beasts greet him with unwavering loyalty and affection. As described in the caption accompanying the artwork, they receive Daniel like faithful dogs welcoming their beloved master home – wagging their tails and showering him with gentle licks. Tanner's meticulous attention to detail is evident in his skillful use of light and shadow. The interplay between blackness and illumination adds depth and intensity to the composition while emphasizing Daniel's courage amidst adversity. This painting not only captures a significant religious narrative but also serves as a testament to African American artistic excellence during a time when racial barriers were prevalent in society. Through his work, Tanner defied societal expectations by creating powerful images that celebrated both his faith and heritage. Now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California, USA, this iconic piece continues to inspire awe among visitors who are drawn into its mesmerizing depiction of faith triumphing over fear.
