EDITORS COMMENTS
The Three Jews Cast into the Fiery Furnace," a captivating engraving by the renowned Flemish artist Philip Galle, depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament Book of Daniel. This masterpiece, created in the 1560s, is a powerful visual representation of the unwavering faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the face of persecution. The image portrays the three Jewish men bound and cast into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon for refusing to worship an idol. The king, enraged by their defiance, orders his soldiers to heat the furnace seven times hotter than usual. The soldiers, shown in the background, shovel fuel into the furnace with a sense of grim determination. Despite the intense heat, the three Jews remain unharmed, standing calmly in the furnace. A divine presence, in the form of the fourth figure, appears in the furnace with them, protecting them from harm. The image is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the resilience of the Jewish people in the face of adversity. This engraving, part of a series from The Story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is a significant work of art from the Renaissance period. It is a poignant reminder of the anti-Semitic sentiments that have persisted throughout history, as well as the strength and determination of the Jewish people in the face of persecution. The engraving, now held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a powerful visual representation of the human spirit and the enduring power of faith. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, religion, or the human condition.
