EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Sacrifice of Jephthah's Daughter" transports viewers to a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by the talented British artist John Opie, this print is part of a larger collection known as the Pictorial History of the Bible. Opie skillfully depicts the emotional intensity and moral dilemma faced by Jephthah, a judge from ancient Israel. According to Judges 11:20-40, in exchange for victory in battle against the Ammonites, Jephthah vowed to sacrifice whatever first came out of his house upon his return. Tragically, it was his beloved daughter who greeted him with joyous celebration. In this engraving, Opie captures both anguish and resignation on Jephthah's face as he realizes the consequences of his vow. The young woman stands beside him with an expression that blends sorrow and acceptance. The composition is richly detailed and evokes empathy from viewers who contemplate the weighty themes of faithfulness and sacrifice. Originally published in Germany during the early 19th century, this artwork showcases not only Opie's talent but also highlights how biblical stories have transcended borders and influenced European art throughout history. Now housed in a private collection, this engraving serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and enduring religious narratives. As we gaze upon "The Sacrifice of Jephthah's Daughter" we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for meaning and our willingness to make profound sacrifices for
