Curse Dore Father Genesis Gustave Judaism Mystic Mysticism Noah Occult Japheth Shem
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful wood engraving, we witness a dramatic scene from the Old Testament: Noah and his sons Shem and Japheth. The image captures the moment when Noah, covered by his loyal sons, curses the family of his younger son Ham. This event is based on Genesis 9:22-25. The artwork, created after Gustave Doré's original masterpiece, exudes an air of mysticism and occult symbolism. It transports us back to ancient times when divine interventions were believed to shape human destinies. Noah's curse stems from Ham's disrespectful act of seeing his father's nakedness. In response to this violation of honor and modesty, Noah invokes a curse upon Ham's descendants. This biblical episode reflects themes of filial piety, respect for authority figures, and consequences for transgressions. The intricate details in this wood engraving showcase Gustave Doré's exceptional talent as an artist. Each stroke brings life to the characters' expressions - Noah conveying both disappointment and righteous anger while Shem and Japheth exhibit loyalty towards their father. This print serves as a reminder of the profound narratives found within religious texts such as Genesis. It invites contemplation on themes like familial relationships, morality, divine justice, and redemption that continue to resonate with people across different cultures today.
