Painting Description
"Daniel's Answer to the King" is an oil painting by the British artist Briton Rivière (1840–1920), created in 1890. Rivière was known for his historical and literary scenes as well as his animal paintings. This particular work depicts a scene from the biblical story of Daniel in the lions' den, as found in the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament. The painting illustrates the moment when Daniel responds to King Darius, who has come to the lions' den to see if Daniel has survived the night.
The composition focuses on the figure of Daniel, who is shown as calm and unharmed, surrounded by lions that appear to be subdued and peaceful in his presence. This reflects the biblical narrative in which Daniel's faith in God protects him from harm. Rivière's painting is noted for its realistic portrayal of the lions, which was a hallmark of his work, and the dramatic use of light and shadow to convey the spiritual intensity of the scene.
"Daniel's Answer to the King" is emblematic of Rivière's skill in combining human and animal subjects to create powerful and emotive narrative scenes. The painting is part of a broader Victorian fascination with biblical themes and reflects the era's interest in the moral and didactic potential of art. Rivière's work was widely appreciated during his lifetime, and "Daniel's Answer to the King" is considered one of his significant contributions to British art of the late 19th century. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries over the years.
