About the Item
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.

Prov. private collection.
Erik Hoppe (1896–1968) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his paintings from the Copenhagen area, especially those with young ladies in the park at Valby.
Hoppe also mastered the effects of light and color. His earlier work is typified by greens and dull shades but later he produced compositions benefitting from bright sunlight. His style reflects the peculiarly Danish form of modernism, initially based on the sombre everyday-realism of around 1930.[1] Affinities with the work of Edvard Weie and Harald Giersing...
