EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving titled "Plaie des sauterelles" by the French School in the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for "La Bible Populaire, Ancien Testament" published by Hachette in 1864. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of this biblical depiction. The scene depicted here transports us back to ancient times when plagues were said to have ravaged lands. In this particular instance, we witness a plague of grasshoppers or sauterelles inflicting devastation upon the land. The artist's ability to capture both the grandeur and terror of this event is truly remarkable. As we delve into religious symbolism, it becomes evident that this engraving draws inspiration from various books within the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament such as Psalms and Exodus. It serves as a visual reminder of divine punishment and retribution found throughout these sacred texts. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with a stunning glimpse into art history through their fine art finder collection. This print not only offers aesthetic pleasure but also invites contemplation on themes like faith, consequences, and human vulnerability in relation to higher powers.
