EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century woodcut print, titled "PLAGUE OF HAIL" transports us back to the ancient biblical times of Exodus. The image vividly depicts the terrifying hailstorm that plagued Egypt, as described in Exodus ix: 13-35. Accompanied by thunder and fire, this cataclysmic event is brought to life through intricate details and masterful artistry. The artist's skill is evident in every stroke of this German woodcut from the Cologne Bible of 1478-80. The scene unfolds with a sense of mysticism and awe-inspiring power. One can almost hear the deafening roar of thunder and feel the earth trembling beneath their feet as they witness nature's fury unleashed. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of God's wrath upon Pharaoh and his people for refusing to release the Israelites from slavery. It captures both the fear instilled in those who witnessed this divine punishment and the mightiness of God himself. Beyond its religious significance, this woodcut also offers an intriguing glimpse into medieval German artistry and craftsmanship. Its North African influences are evident in its portrayal of Egyptian landscapes and architectural elements. "PLAGUE OF HAIL" stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with mysticism, occultism, and ancient history. It invites us to contemplate our place within larger cosmic forces while appreciating the artistic brilliance that has preserved these stories throughout centuries.
