The Plague of Frogs, c. 1585 - A Biblical Scene Engraved in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Johann Sadeler I, we are transported back to the 16th century, immersing ourselves in a scene straight out of the Old Testament. The artwork depicts one of the ten plagues that befell Egypt as described in the book of Exodus - The Plague of Frogs. The artist's intricate engraving on laid paper brings to life a chaotic banquet hall filled with distressed individuals. Men, women, and children can be seen amidst a sea of frogs that have invaded their dining space. Pillars stand tall in the background while monkeys add an element of surprise to this biblical narrative. Sadeler's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures every nuance and emotion on each person's face. Distress and astonishment are etched into their expressions as they grapple with this unexpected nuisance from nature. This Flemish masterpiece not only showcases Sadeler's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of our rich religious heritage. It invites us to reflect upon ancient tales and contemplate how they continue to resonate with us today. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art Washington, this print stands as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but marvel at its timeless beauty and appreciate how art has the power to transport us through time itself.
