EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Balaks Deputation to Balaam" takes us back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Balak and Balaam, beautifully captured by an English School artist. The scene depicts a delegation led by Balak approaching the renowned prophet Balaam. The intricate details of their attire and expressions bring this ancient tale to life before our eyes. As we delve into the Book of Numbers in the Old Testament, we uncover the significance of this encounter. In this powerful narrative, Balak seeks Balaam's divine intervention against his enemies through curses. However, as we explore further within these sacred texts, we discover that God intervenes and prevents Balaam from cursing Israel. This print is part of Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition published around 1880. It serves as a visual representation for readers delving into these timeless stories within religious literature. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let us reflect on its historical context while appreciating its artistic merit. This engraving not only captures a significant moment but also invites us to contemplate themes such as faith, obedience, and divine intervention found throughout both the Old and New Testaments. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are fortunate enough to witness this masterful depiction that continues to inspire awe and contemplation centuries later.
