EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century depicts a figure holding an open scroll, symbolizing Divine Revelation. The image beautifully illustrates the concept of enlightenment and dispelling the clouds of ignorance and idolatry. The altar inscribed to the Unknown God represents the former, while the presence of a Golden Calf signifies the latter. The artist skillfully captures this powerful contrast between knowledge and ignorance through intricate details. The figure's serene expression exudes wisdom as they hold aloft the scroll, radiating light that pierces through dark clouds. This divine illumination serves as a beacon, guiding humanity away from their misguided beliefs towards true understanding. The Altar inscribed to the Unknown God stands as a testament to human curiosity and our innate search for higher truths. It reminds us that there is always more to discover beyond what we already know or believe in. This engraving was originally created as a frontispiece for John Fleetwood's A New and Complete History of Holy Bible, published around 1770. Its inclusion in this biblical work further emphasizes its significance within religious contexts. Overall, this artwork invites contemplation on themes such as faith, revelation, and spiritual growth. It serves as a reminder that seeking knowledge can lead us out of darkness into enlightenment if we are willing to let go of ignorance and idolatry.
