1690 Biblical Gideon Judges Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th century print depicts the scene from the Old Testament book of Judges, where Gideon leads his select army of 300 soldiers against the Midianites. The biblical account relates that God had reduced Gideon's initial army of 32,000 to just 300 men, as a test of faith and to ensure that the victory would be attributed to God's power and not to human might. In this image, the soldiers, clad in armor and brandishing swords and shields, are shown marching forward with determination and resolve. Their faces are serious, their expressions focused, as they prepare to face the enemy. Gideon, the leader, is shown on horseback, his arms outstretched, directing his troops. The sun sets behind them, casting long shadows and adding an air of drama to the scene. The print, which is believed to date from around 1690, is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the ability of art to bring it to life. It is a reminder of the faith and courage of Gideon and his soldiers, who trusted in God's guidance and ultimately triumphed against seemingly insurmountable odds. The intricate details of the soldiers' armor and the bold, dynamic composition make this a striking and captivating work of art, worthy of close examination and reflection.
