"The Prophet Daniel" is a notable sculpture created by the renowned Brazilian artist Antonio Francisco Lisboa, also known as Aleijadinho. Aleijadinho, whose nickname translates to "Little Cripple" in Portuguese, was an influential figure in colonial Brazilian art, particularly in the Baroque and Rococo styles. Born in 1738 in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Aleijadinho is celebrated for his exceptional contributions to religious art, despite suffering from a debilitating illness that severely affected his physical abilities.

The sculpture of The Prophet Daniel is part of a larger ensemble known as the Twelve Prophets, which Aleijadinho crafted between 1800 and 1805. These statues are located at the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos in Congonhas, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Twelve Prophets are considered masterpieces of Baroque sculpture in Latin America and are revered for their expressive detail and emotional depth.

Aleijadinho's depiction of Daniel is particularly striking, capturing the prophet in a moment of divine inspiration. The statue is carved from soapstone, a material commonly used by Aleijadinho, and stands as a testament to his skill and ingenuity. Despite his physical limitations, Aleijadinho managed to imbue his works with a profound sense of movement and spirituality, characteristics that are evident in The Prophet Daniel.

The Prophet Daniel, along with the other eleven prophets, plays a significant role in the religious and cultural heritage of Brazil. These sculptures not only reflect the artistic prowess of Aleijadinho but also provide insight into the religious fervor and artistic trends of colonial Brazil. The Twelve Prophets continue to attract scholars, art enthusiasts, and tourists from around the world, solidifying Aleijadinho's legacy as one of Brazil's most important and enduring artists.
