EDITORS COMMENTS
Albrecht Altdorfer's woodcut print, "Jael and Sisera" (c. 1523), offers a haunting depiction of a pivotal moment from the Old Testament Book of Judges. In this powerful image, the Cananite captain Sisera lies dead, impaled through the temple by the woman who saved Israel from his army's invasion - Jael. The German artist masterfully captures the raw emotion and intensity of the scene, with Jael's determined gaze and clenched fist contrasting the lifeless body of Sisera. The woodcut's intricate details and bold lines bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting viewers back to the turbulent times of ancient warfare and religious conflict. The print is a testament to Altdorfer's artistic skill and the enduring power of religious art to engage and inspire. This historic work is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human condition. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is home to this remarkable print, which continues to captivate and intrigue visitors to this day.
