EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PLAGUE OF LOCUSTS" takes us back in time to the biblical story of Exodus. The image showcases a woodcut from the Cologne Bible of 1478-80, depicting a scene where a massive swarm of locusts descends upon Egypt. As described in Exodus 10:12-15, these destructive insects were brought by a strong east wind and proceeded to devour all vegetation in their path. The visual impact of this artwork is striking, with the sheer number of locusts creating an ominous atmosphere. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they portray the devastation caused by these creatures on the once lush landscape. In this moment, Pharaoh stands powerless before this natural disaster, unable to prevent or control its consequences. This piece not only serves as a reminder of ancient times but also highlights themes found within Christianity and Judaism. It symbolizes one of the ten plagues inflicted upon Egypt by Moses during his quest for freedom for the Israelites. Through this miracle, God demonstrated His power and authority over nature while delivering His people from oppression. As we contemplate this medieval woodcut, we are reminded that history often repeats itself; even today, various parts of our world face similar challenges posed by environmental disasters. This photograph invites us to reflect on humanity's relationship with nature and our own vulnerability when faced with forces beyond our control.
