EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Roman mosaic from the 5th century, depicting the biblical scene of "Daniel in the lions den". According to the Book of Daniel in the Bible, Daniel, one of the revered Hebrew prophets, was thrown into a den filled with ferocious lions by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. This act intended to test Daniel's faith and loyalty to his God Jehovah. The remarkable aspect of this story lies in Daniel's survival amidst these dangerous predators. His unwavering trust in Jehovah demonstrated that true power resided not with Bel (Baal), the god worshipped by Assyrio-Babylonians but with his own deity. The mosaic beautifully captures this momentous event and serves as a testament to religious beliefs prevalent during that era. Displayed at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, this artwork exemplifies both artistic excellence and religious significance. Its vibrant colors bring life to every detail, highlighting not only Daniel but also those surrounding him during this perilous ordeal. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back through time and space to witness an extraordinary act of divine intervention. It reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection and our capacity for resilience even when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
