EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a scene from the "Daniel Dragon History" series titled "Historia Danielis". The print, created by Johannes of Lucas van Doetechum in Antwerp in 1579, depicts an intriguing moment between Daniel and King Cyrus at the dragon of Babylon. In this powerful image, we witness Daniel being worshiped by the Babylonian people while refusing to bow down to the fearsome dragon. In his bold defiance, Daniel approaches King Cyrus and seeks permission to slay the dragon without conventional weapons such as swords or sticks. Instead, he plans to feed it a concoction consisting of fat, tar, and bones. By doing so, he believes that the dragon will be torn open from within and meet its demise. Above this dramatic performance is a reference in Latin to the Bible text found in Dan. 14. This print is part of an album that beautifully captures various scenes from ancient biblical stories through exquisite engravings. The juxtaposition of power dynamics between Daniel and King Cyrus adds depth to this artwork's narrative. It invites viewers into a world where faith and courage collide with authority and tradition. Through its meticulous details and masterful execution, this print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an invitation for contemplation on themes of bravery and conviction found within religious texts.
