The artwork titled “Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts” is created by Gustave Doré, a prominent artist associated with the Romanticism art movement. This religious painting forms part of the series “The Holy Bible.” The artwork portrays a biblical vision experienced by the prophet Daniel, as described in the Bible.
In the artwork, a tumultuous sea is depicted under a stormy and ominous sky, emphasizing the chaos and power of nature. Emerging from the water are four distinct, formidable beasts, each represented with an air of menace and mystery. This vivid imagery aligns with the dark and dramatic style typical of Doré’s work and is complemented by the intricate detailing and dynamic composition. The overall scene evokes a sense of awe and reverence, capturing the prophetic vision’s apocalyptic and divine essence.
