"Daniel in the Lions' Den" is a renowned engraving by Abraham Blooteling (1640–1690), based on a painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. The original painting by Rubens, which dates back to the 1610s, depicts the biblical story of Daniel, a prophet who was thrown into a den of lions as a punishment for his faith but miraculously survived without harm due to divine protection. This theme has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing faith and deliverance.

Abraham Blooteling, a notable Dutch engraver and printmaker, reinterpreted Rubens's work through the medium of engraving, a process that involves incising a design onto a hard, usually flat surface, by cutting grooves into it. Blooteling was known for his skill in mezzotint, a printmaking technique that allowed for the creation of images with subtle gradations of light and shade, which was particularly well-suited to capturing the dramatic chiaroscuro and emotional intensity of Rubens's original painting.

The engraving "Daniel in the Lions' Den" by Blooteling is significant not only as a work of art but also as a historical document that reflects the dissemination of Rubens's compositions through prints, which was a common practice in the 17th century. These prints served to spread the fame of the original paintings and made the compositions accessible to a wider audience who might not have had the opportunity to view the originals.

Blooteling's interpretation of Rubens's "Daniel in the Lions' Den" is admired for its technical mastery and its ability to convey the tension and drama of the scene. The work is an important example of the collaborative nature of art during the Baroque period, where printmakers played a crucial role in the transmission and reinterpretation of artistic ideas across Europe.
