EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sculpture "Jonah Swallowed" from the Roman Imperial Period. Carved in marble, this incredible piece measures 50.38x15.5x26.9 cm and is currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. The artwork depicts a significant biblical scene from the Old Testament involving Jonah, an Old Testament prophet who defied God's command to proclaim judgment on Nineveh. As punishment for his disobedience, Jonah was cast into the sea and swallowed by a massive sea monster. In this particular representation, we witness the beast swallowing Jonah headfirst, emphasizing both its power and dominance over him. The intricate details of the sculpture bring life to this ancient tale, showcasing late Roman craftsmanship at its finest. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its religious context but also as a symbol of early Christianity during that period. It serves as a reminder of faith and obedience while highlighting themes such as redemption and divine intervention. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we can appreciate every intricacy of this remarkable statuette—a testament to human creativity throughout history—capturing our imagination with its portrayal of one man's struggle against nature's mightiest forces.
