O soše

Daniel in the Lion's Den, a carved capital of about 1125–50, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. Lions surround Daniel, joined by the angel sent to rescue him. The Old Testament tells how he was thrown among lions as punishment for believing in one God, then preserved through his faith. This Romanesque carving once stood inside the church at Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher in central France, alongside a number of other capitals decorated with carved imagery. It is displayed in room 106B, Romanesque & Gothic Sculpture.

Slovy muzea

According to the Old Testament, Daniel was cast into a lion’s den as punishment for his belief in a single god, but he was miraculously delivered from harm on account of his faith. This story is related here, with Daniel flanked by lions and the angel sent by God to save him. Together with other decorated capitals, this imposing work of Romanesque sculpture once decorated the interior of the church of Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, a city in central France.
