EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Ester Ahasuerus History series titled "Historia Asuerij" takes us back in time to a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Esther. In this scene, we witness Esther kneeling before King Ahasuerus, who affectionately points his scepter at her. The artist beautifully captures the tension and significance of this encounter. Esther, known for her bravery and intelligence, seizes the opportunity to invite both the king and Haman to a feast she has prepared. Meanwhile, in the background, we catch a glimpse of another crucial event unfolding. As evening falls, King Ahasuerus listens attentively as chronicles of his empire are read aloud. To his surprise, he learns that Mordecai has saved his life by thwarting an assassination attempt. Curiosity piqued, King Ahasuerus turns to Haman for advice on how best to honor someone who has performed such a noble act. In response, Haman proudly shows Mordecai around while riding on horseback with him through the city streets. The exquisite engraving by Hans Collaert (I) transports us into this ancient world filled with political intrigue and personal triumphs. This particular print is part of an album that showcases various scenes from Esther's story. As we admire this historical artwork captured on paper over four centuries ago in Antwerp, let us reflect on the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to connect generations across time and space.
