EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts a scene of immense power and divine wrath. Titled "Seven angels emptying seven bowls filled with God's wrath" it is part of an unidentified series of Bible prints, possibly published by Pierre Mariette in Paris. The image showcases seven celestial beings, each pouring out a bowl containing God's punishment upon the earth. This dramatic representation draws inspiration from Revelation 16 in the New Testament, where these bowls symbolize the final judgments before the end of the world. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of this engraving bring to life various elements such as monstrous creatures, fabulous animals, and plague victims. It serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability to sickness and disease during times like the bubonic plague that ravaged Europe during this period. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Christianity's teachings on divine justice and retribution. The visual narrative captures both fear and awe at witnessing heavenly forces delivering sentences for earthly transgressions. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as punishment, religion, and our place within a greater cosmic order. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its reflection of societal beliefs during the early seventeenth century. Through this engraving by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can explore profound theological concepts while appreciating the beauty found within religious art throughout history.
