EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 13: Gideon Choosing his Soldiers, from The Battles of the Old Testament" transports us back to the 16th or 17th century. Created by Italian artists Antonio Tempesta and Nicolaus van Aelst, this piece is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image depicts a significant moment from the Old Testament when Gideon selects his soldiers for battle. In this etching, we see a group of men gathered near a riverbank with horses nearby. One man stands out as he gestures confidently towards potential recruits while others listen attentively. The scene exudes an aura of determination and religious fervor. Tempesta's masterful use of black and white adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both light and shadow. The intricate details capture every nuance, from the expressions on each soldier's face to the texture of their armor. This artwork not only showcases historical events but also reflects themes such as warfare, religion, and geography. It serves as a reminder of our rich Christian heritage and provides insight into ancient Roman times. As we admire this remarkable print at The Met, let us appreciate how it brings history alive through its meticulous craftsmanship. This powerful depiction invites us to reflect on faith, courage, and sacrifice – timeless virtues that resonate across centuries.
