The Curse Pronounced - A Powerful Depiction of Biblical Consequences
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Curse Pronounced, Genesis III, ver 16,17" showcases an exquisite engraving by the English School from the 19th century. Housed in a private collection and part of Alexander Fletcher's "Scripture History" publication (1839), this artwork beautifully illustrates a significant moment from the Book of Genesis. Intriguingly, it captures the aftermath of Adam and Eve breaking God's commandment in Eden. The image portrays their parents' faces filled with remorse as they listen to God's soothing yet solemn voice pronouncing their sentence. The woman is told that her seed will bruise serpents' heads while enduring painful childbirth. Meanwhile, man is destined to toil for his sustenance amidst thorns and thistles. Symbolism abounds within this masterpiece; it represents not only biblical narratives but also universal themes such as consequences for disobedience and mankind's struggle for survival. Moreover, the inclusion of white bread loaves emphasizes humanity's need for sustenance even after being cast out from paradise. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power and depth embedded within scriptural stories. It serves as a poignant reminder that our actions have far-reaching effects—a lesson relevant across cultures and generations.
