EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Samuel anointing Saul King of Israel" takes us back to biblical times, specifically the Old Testament. Created by an unknown European School artist in the 17th century, this print is part of a series of Bible prints that were possibly published by Pierre Mariette in Paris. The scene depicted here is from 1 Samuel 10, where Samuel anoints Saul as the first king of Israel. The image showcases the solemn moment when Samuel pours oil over Saul's head, symbolizing his divine appointment and authority. The composition beautifully captures the significance and gravity of this historical event. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to ancient Israel, surrounded by its rich history and religious traditions. The intricate engravings bring life to every detail – from the Hebrew inscriptions on scrolls to the expressions on Samuel and Saul's faces. Beyond its religious context, this engraving also offers glimpses into Middle Eastern culture during that era. It provides insights into Arab civilization and their connection with Palestine. Additionally, it reminds us of Africa's presence through references to Sudan and Central Africa. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to both faith and history. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today as they explore themes such as royalty, prophecy, religion, anatomy (depicted through detailed human figures), and even natural resources like crude oil – all elements intricately woven together within this remarkable piece of art.
