CHAPTER 1

1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord delivered Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the articles from the temple of God. These he carried off to the temple of his god in Babylonia and put in the treasure house of his god.

3 Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, chief of his court officials, to bring into the king’s service some of the Israelites from the royal family and the nobility— 4 young men without any physical defect, handsome, showing aptitude for every kind of learning, well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve in the king’s palace. He was to teach them the language and literature of the Babylonians. 5 The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king’s table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king’s service.

6 Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.

8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned yourfood and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”

11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.

15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.

18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them into his service, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.

21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus.

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA

A r t
Q u a l i t y
The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art: this is The Bible in Paintings, not "Great Paintings" nor even "Good Paintings." Indeed, occasionally photographs illustrate the text. So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don't need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby's. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm always asking the Holy Spirit to guide.

Often, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.

T e x t
S e q u e n c i n g
The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I will treat synoptically. Now, onward!

P a c i n g
The pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence: if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic (but where there is little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).

Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?

The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!

. .

Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.

Forty nice tributes to a man who has been dead 2,500 years. Ezekiel grouped Daniel with Noah and Job as the very greatest of men. I know already how many tributes will be created honoring me.

Several famous incidents portrayed in chapters 2-6, leading to nine episodes already in-the-can awaiting posting, with lots of “nice ones”. Don’t know yet if I can cobble together even one post from chapters 7-12—that’s today’s assignment, if I’m willing to accept it.

Such a great and varied selection! I am glad to see Claus Sluter represented, he was an important master of 15th c. northern Europe sculpture. The Well of Moses is his greatest work, built as a mausoleum to Philip the Bold of Burgundy. Here is a brief video showing this remarkable work.

I liked very much Sluter's statue, but I'm left wishing for a full-frontal view of Daniel's face, rather than looking up his nose. Need a drone-camera

Watched the video, and (aside from not caring for the male's narration) I greatly admired Sluter's Well of Moses, which of course is all new to me. I had quite a chuckle at the ineptitude of the "perspective" attempted in the oft-shown bird's-eye view of the grounds.

MUCH better! Thanks to you. I really like that countenance that Sluter imagined and crafted—looks just like I’d expect a mature Daniel the visionary to look.

And, as always, I appreciate your appreciation. Hundreds more Daniel images to follow, over at least eight more threads—with Jonah and the Gospels waiting in the wings.

The last statue shown, by Rues, is not marble nor stone but wooden.

It's very difficult to illustrate Bible scenes in statuary form, which is why I so seldom find and include them. But when there are many "tributes," as today, then we are in business.

Been out of touch for a few days - the Texas freeze.

I noticed several depictions, he's wielding a hammer(s)...

I don't recall anything specific to Daniel and hammers, is it symbolic?

(like, here's a truth to 'hammer home'?)

I noticed those, too--sharp-eyed John! I suspect, without actually checking, that those images were inspired by some incident present in the several apocryphal chapters which the Catholic and Orthodox churches have appended to the book of Daniel, but which Protestants ignore. You may recall my last thread on Esther, which consisted of images portraying the similarly apochryphal story of her fainting.

I say that because I already had to delete 8-10 paintings showing Habakkuk delivering bread to Daniel in the lions' den, which also appears in those extra chapters (on the threads scheduled for Monday through Wednesday). I ignored the hammer--you're the first to mention it.

Stay warm, sir!
