EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Daniel Interpreting the Writing on the Wall" depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story found in Daniel 5:25-28. Illustrated by Gustave Dore and engraved by Ligny in 1866, this artwork showcases an intense scene filled with religious symbolism and divine intervention. Intriguingly, the image captures Daniel as he reads and interprets mysterious writing that has appeared on a wall during Belshazzar's feast. The bright light shining upon him signifies a divine message being revealed to him, while also emphasizing his prophetic role as an Old Testament prophet. The composition beautifully combines elements of architecture and religion, showcasing intricate details of the surroundings. This illustration transports viewers back to ancient times, immersing them in the grandeur of Babylonian culture. The significance of this moment is profound; it serves as both a warning and a sentence for Belshazzar's actions. The words "Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin" are inscribed on the wall, foretelling imminent doom for Belshazzar's kingdom. Through this artwork, we witness Daniel fulfilling his duty as God's messenger by delivering this prophetic message. Overall, this thought-provoking print invites contemplation about fate and consequences while highlighting themes of faith and obedience within Christianity. It stands as a testament to Dore's artistic talent in capturing religious narratives with depth and emotion.
