Summary
[edit]
| Description | Panel from door of Santa Sabina showing a scene from an apocryphal Old Testament book of Daniel, "Bel and the Dragon". An angel grabs Habakkuk by the hair to take him through the air to Babylon, where he will be instructed to offer Daniel - thrown into the lions den for a second time - the dinner he has just prepared. Daniel was among the most popular early Christians subjects of art. Early Christian writers indicated this was because Christians saw Daniel's prophecies and survival in the lions den as predicting a messiah. It is curious that the artisan thought the abduction event worth capturing, considering that the rest of the story of Daniel is filled with stories that would seem to make more exciting pictures. Its presence on the door probably indicates that it was paired with a scene with Daniel in the lions' den. |
