EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Lord Sweetens the Waters of Marah" is a remarkable creation by Augustin Hirschvogel. Dating back to the 16th century, this exquisite etching depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament's book of Exodus. In this powerful artwork, we witness a pivotal moment as God intervenes to sweeten the bitter waters of Marah for His people. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this miraculous event with intricate details and masterful shading. Hirschvogel's German heritage shines through in his meticulous rendering of both landscape and figures. The oasis setting transports us to an ancient land, while the central figure—a man—represents one among many who witnessed this divine intervention. As we delve into this piece, it becomes evident that religion plays a significant role in Hirschvogel's work. With great reverence for Jewish scripture and Christian beliefs, he brings forth stories that resonate across time and faiths. "The Lord Sweetens the Waters of Marah" now finds its home at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , where it stands as a testament to Hirschvogel's artistic prowess and enduring legacy. This print serves as a window into history—an invitation to reflect on our shared human experiences and find solace in moments when faith triumphs over adversity.
