EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jephthah's Return, Judges, Chapter 11, Verse 34" is a remarkable piece of art from the 19th century. Created by an English School artist and housed in a private collection, this print showcases a scene from the biblical story of Jephthah. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of Judges Chapter 11, Verse 34. Jephthah was a judge who made a vow to God that if he were victorious in battle against his enemies, he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house upon his return. Tragically, it turned out to be his beloved daughter. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship evident in this engraving bring this heartbreaking moment to life. The emotions portrayed on Jephthah's face as he realizes the consequences of his vow are palpable. The viewer can almost feel the weight of sorrow and regret that hangs heavy in the air. This artwork originally appeared as an illustration for "The Christians Complete Family Bible" by John Fowler in 1809. It is one among fifty-five exquisite embellishments featured throughout the book. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this extraordinary piece for us to appreciate today. Its historical significance and artistic excellence make it a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to religious art or biblical narratives.
