EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to witness a momentous encounter between King Cyrus and Daniel. In this scene, King Cyrus graciously shows Daniel the awe-inspiring temple of the god Bel. At the heart of the temple stands an imposing statue of the deity, seated majestically as a symbol of power and divinity. The atmosphere is filled with reverence as vases emitting fragrant incense surround the magnificent statue. The king's servants are diligently arranging an exquisite spread of food and drinks on a table before Bel's image, ensuring that no detail goes unnoticed. Beneath this remarkable depiction lies an explanatory text written in Latin, shedding light on the significance of this sacred encounter. This intricately detailed print is part of a larger series titled "Bel and the Dragon" within "Thesaurus sacrarum historiaru" which showcases exceptional engravings by Philips Galle. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we can almost feel ourselves transported into that ancient temple alongside King Cyrus and Daniel. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and religious devotion during its creation in Antwerp between 1565-1579. This particular print captures a pivotal moment when King Cyrus sets food before Bel's image while Daniel and his loyal servants scatter ashes on the temple floor—a powerful visual representation steeped in symbolism and spiritual significance.
