EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""He took away the altars of the strange gods. . . and brake down the images", II, Chronicles, xiv, 3" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant moment from II Chronicles. The scene depicts a powerful and determined figure standing amidst a collection of altars dedicated to foreign deities. With great force and conviction, he is shown breaking down these false idols that had captured people's devotion for so long. The intensity in his eyes reflects his unwavering commitment to purging his land of idolatry. The artist skillfully captures both the physical strength exerted by this individual as well as the spiritual significance behind his actions. Through intricate details and careful shading, we can almost feel the weight of each altar being shattered into pieces. This engraving serves as a visual representation of religious reform and devotion to one true God. It reminds us of our capacity for change and renewal when faced with falsehoods or distractions that hinder our spiritual growth. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork offers us an opportunity to reflect on ancient scriptures while appreciating its artistic beauty. Its presence invites contemplation about personal beliefs and challenges us to examine any figurative "altars" in our own lives that may need dismantling for greater clarity and purpose.
