The Great Day of His Wrath
2005
"The Great Day of His Wrath" is a monumental oil on panel painting that depicts a apocalyptic landscape consumed by divine judgment and natural catastrophe. Daniels employs dramatic chiaroscuro and turbulent brushwork to convey the terror and chaos of biblical destruction, with human figures rendered insignificant against towering cliffs and roiling skies. The work exemplifies the Romantic era's fascination with the sublime and humanity's vulnerability before overwhelming natural and supernatural forces.
