EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts Judas Maccabees, also known as Judas Maccabaeus, a prominent Jewish leader during the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire in the 2nd century BCE. The event is chronicled in the books of the Old Testament, specifically in 1 Maccabees. Judas Maccabees is shown here on horseback, leading his troops into battle. His fierce determination and unwavering faith are evident in his intense gaze and the raised sword in his hand. The horses, with their rearing heads and arched necks, reflect the chaos and excitement of the battlefield. The print's intricate details and bold lines convey the energy and intensity of the scene. The Maccabean Revolt began in response to the desecration of the Second Temple in Jerusalem by the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Judas Maccabees and his brothers led a successful rebellion against the Seleucid forces, eventually reclaiming the Temple and restoring Jewish worship. The Maccabees are celebrated as heroes in Jewish history, and their story continues to inspire faith and courage. This print, created in the 17th century, is a testament to the enduring significance of the Maccabean Revolt and the legacy of Judas Maccabees. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of conflict and triumph, and reminding us of the power of faith and determination in the face of adversity.
