EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Jonah and the whale" takes us back to the 17th century with its intricate details and profound biblical significance. The European School artist skillfully brings to life the dramatic scene from Jonah's story in the Old Testament. The image portrays Jonah, a prophet of God, being swallowed by a massive humpback whale amidst tumultuous waves. The ship he was aboard is seen in distress nearby, emphasizing his desperate attempt to escape divine punishment. This powerful depiction symbolizes repentance and deliverance as Jonah finds salvation within the belly of the sea mammal. The engraver's attention to detail is evident not only in capturing the intensity of this biblical event but also in depicting various elements such as ships, marine wildlife, and inscriptions that add depth to the artwork. It is believed that this print was part of an unidentified series published by Pierre Mariette in Paris during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of both religious devotion and artistic mastery. The story of Jonah continues to resonate across different faiths today, serving as a reminder of redemption and second chances. This engraving serves as a testament to how art can beautifully convey timeless stories while transporting us back centuries into history.
