Olivia Holm-Møller: “Daniel in the Lions’ Den”, Tempera & Oil on Canvas
€11,433
Olivia Holm-Møller (Danish, 1875–1970)
Title: Daniel in the Lions’ Den (Danish: Daniel i Løvekulen)
A powerful and expressive work that portrays the well-known biblical narrative of Daniel in the lions’ den.
Created in tempera and oil on canvas, the painting features a bold and vibrant color palette combined with stylized, almost sculptural forms.
This symbol-rich composition shows Daniel standing upright and composed among monumental lions. He is surrounded by a dramatic contrast of hues: a deep orange background, golden-yellow lions, and cool bluish-grey tones. A white, halo-like circle behind Daniel’s head emphasizes his sanctity and divine protection.
Signed “OHM” (Olivia Holm-Møller).
Olivia Holm-Møller (1875–1970) was a pioneering Danish painter, sculptor, printmaker, and draughtswoman known for her expressive, intensely colored works filled with spiritual symbolism and a cosmic visual language.
Her art blended modernist experimentation with personal vision, often drawing on biblical themes, mythology, and universal human questions. Holm-Møller worked independently of prevailing artistic trends, forging her own path both in subject matter and technique.
Her works convey a deep sense of inner life and spiritual inquiry, placing her today among the key figures of early 20th-century Danish modernism. Daniel in the Lions’ Den is a striking example of her ability to express existential and religious themes with artistic force and emotional clarity.
