Jezebel Devoured by Dogs
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and haunting image from the Old Testament, as depicted in this 17th-century print. The biblical narrative of 2 Kings 9 recounts the brutal end of Jezebel, the infamous queen of Israel, who was notoriously known for her idolatry and wickedness. In this print, Jezebel's lifeless body is shown being consumed by a pack of ravenous dogs, a fitting punishment for her sins. The image is a stark reminder of the consequences of evil and the relentless power of nature. The queen's once elegant and regal attire lies in tatters, a testament to the brutal and unforgiving nature of her demise. The print, created in the late 1600s, is a powerful visual representation of the biblical story. The use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, adds to the dramatic effect, with the dogs' snarling faces illuminated against the dark background. The intricate details of the dogs' fur and the queen's features show the skill and artistry of the printmaker. This image is a poignant reminder of the biblical story of Jezebel and the consequences of her wickedness. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to bring the stories of the past to life and to provoke thought and reflection on the human condition. The print is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the artistic and religious sensibilities of the 17th century.
