This painting, in the Smithsonian, always impressed me.

In all those painting, only one (#13) shows Daniel with any dreads.

[Hebrews 11:6]

That is a GREAT painting, seemingly the consensus favorite among observers.

I found 120 images on Daniel in the lions' den, far too many for a single thread. So I separated them into three groups: Daniel with just the lions, today's thread; Daniel with his God--that is, praying--which includes your favorite, shown tomorrow; and finally, Daniel with the angel, scheduled for Thursday.

[Hebrews 11:6]

There is a shortage currently of black artists culturally appropriating Semitic Bible folk, although I did post a couple in the fiery furnace. Was hoping He Qi would come through once again for the Asians, as he did with Moses, but alas...

[left that other site]

LOL...I like your wording. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

The Hicks twins have thoughtfully provided us with yet another black Daniel for tomorrow’s thread, but after that I’m afraid the pickings are slim.

[etabeta]

Your image of Daniel is a beautiful terracotta by Bernini. He also did one in marble (Santa Maria del Popolo Church in Rome), a late work by this extraordinary artist. Very expressive in gesture, Daniel in fervent prayer, the tamed lion licking his foot.

Slim Pickins.

Whenever I hear those words, THIS comes to my mind. (Not to mention that slim often played "Hicks").

[Hebrews 11:6]

The marble version is gorgeous—no idea how I missed it. I’ll add it to tomorrow’s thread to make sure everyone sees it.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I saw what you did there.

[left that other site]

LOL.

[Hebrews 11:6]

No idea how you live with yourself.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Wonderful!

[Albion Wilde]

Bernini. Always breathtaking.

[ArtDodger]

Thanks for responding. I absolutely LOVE your Bible threads. Truly, this is the internet at its best!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you think so. I love them, too--they're God's show, with me merely being the EmCee.

ArtDodger & DodgerDan! Kindred spirits.

By Dramatized Scripture (one of the best of their dramatizations) and the Pics did not disappoint.
