“Daniel in the Lions’ Den” offers a quiet, contemplative moment in an otherwise terrifying scene. Daniel, a Jewish prophet persecuted for his faith, was sent to certain death in a den of wild lions. His captors discovered him alive and unharmed the next day. A shaft of light illuminates the center of the scene, but Daniel’s face is obscured. He and the lions are cloaked in a blue-green shadow. The focus, rather than on Daniel’s face, is drawn to his bound hands and the face of a docile lion, the only things illuminated in this work. Henry Ossawa Tanner’s calm interpretation of the story of Daniel conveys a man of faith, secure in and protected by his belief, not one fervently praying in fear. “Daniel in the Lions’ Den” is currently on view in the Art of the Americas building, floor 3. #lacma #henryossawatanner #danielinthelionsden #art http://ift.tt/2hZqqnr
