EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "The Plagues of Egypt" by the English School, dating back to the 18th century. Held in a private collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into biblical history and serves as an illustration for "The History of the Old and New Testament". Depicting scenes from ancient Egypt, this engraving vividly portrays the ten plagues that befell the land according to Hebrew Bible accounts. From blood-red rivers to swarms of locusts devouring crops, each plague is meticulously rendered with great attention to detail. The artist's skillful use of line work and shading brings life to these haunting images, evoking a sense of both awe and dread. The composition captures moments filled with chaos and despair as Egyptians grapple with divine retribution while Israelites seek deliverance. This remarkable print not only appeals to those interested in biblical narratives but also invites contemplation on themes such as faith, power dynamics, and human resilience in times of adversity. It serves as a visual reminder of historical events that have shaped religious beliefs over centuries. As we gaze upon this masterful engraving captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in the dramatic tale that unfolds within its intricate details.
