EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jephthah's Rash Vow" depicts a powerful biblical scene from the Book of Judges, Chapter XI, Verse 39. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story of Jephthah. The image showcases Jephthah, a judge and leader of Israel, as he makes a solemn vow to God. In his desperation for victory against the Ammonites, Jephthah promises that if he is granted triumph in battle, he will sacrifice whatever comes out of his house first upon his return. Little does he know that it will be his beloved daughter who joyfully greets him with tambourines and dances. The engraving beautifully conveys the tension and anguish on Jephthah's face as he realizes the consequences of his rash oath. The black-and-white illustration adds depth and intensity to this dramatic moment in biblical history. Originally featured in A New Family Bible published by C Brightly and T Kinnersley in 1805, this artwork serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of faith and judgment. Its inclusion within private collections speaks to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts who appreciate religious themes depicted through skilled engravings.
