EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Moloch" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene from biblical times. The print, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "The Land of the Bible, Its Sacred Heroes and Wonderful Story". In this powerful illustration, we witness Moloch's presence in all its glory. The intricate details bring forth an eerie atmosphere as we see worshippers gathered around the colossal deity. With his imposing figure and outstretched arms ready to receive sacrifices, Moloch exudes both fear and fascination. The engraver skillfully captures the essence of this ancient Middle Eastern ritualistic practice. It transports us to a time when beliefs were deeply rooted in religious customs that demanded human offerings for appeasing deities like Moloch. As we gaze upon this artwork, it serves as a reminder of humanity's complex relationship with faith throughout history. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights the gravity of these sacred rituals while emphasizing their dark undertones. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from our past for future generations to appreciate. Through its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection, viewers can delve into the rich tapestry of artistry that spans centuries – connecting us with stories told through engravings such as this one.
