Picture of the day

Daniel in the Lions' Den is a 1615 painting by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens, now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. Based on Daniel 6:1–28, it depicts the Biblical figure Daniel trapped in a den of lions by King Darius the Mede. Rubens modelled the lions on a Moroccan species, examples of which were then in the Spanish governor's menagerie in Brussels.Painting: Peter Paul Rubens

Political allegory

I've just done some extensive cleanup on this, to try and make the text clearer and flow better. Part of that touched on the political allegory bit - I think the article now reflects the source better, but this does make clear that the source thinks it's a political allegory based literally just on the fact that there are ten lions. I'm not an art historian, but that strikes me as extremely weak. Happy for anyone with a bit more experience to decide whether to cut that bit out entirely. statisticalphil (talk) 15:30, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
