This monumental 120 by 80 inch oil painting on canvas by Expressionist artist Josef Jackerson dynamically renders the biblical narrative of Daniel in the lions' den. The composition is defined by a striking, high-contrast palette of intense reds, deep blacks, and earthy ochres, utilizing vigorous, gestural brushwork to evoke a dramatic sense of tension and spiritual endurance. The figures of the stylized, roaring lions flank the central figure, creating a powerful theatrical environment characteristic of the artist's larger philosophical and theological series. The work is housed in a minimalist black float frame.
