1690 Biblical Exodus Floor Lamb Lambs Passover Sacrifice Sacrificial Testament Tiled Tiles Paschal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts the Paschal Lamb, a significant symbol of the Jewish Passover celebration as described in the Old Testament book of Exodus (12:1-14). The Paschal Lamb was a male lamb without blemish, which was sacrificed and its blood applied to the doorposts of Jewish homes during the first Passover celebration in Egypt. The angel of death passed over these homes, sparing the firstborn children within. The intricately tiled floor and the ornate table setting in this print add to the solemnity and reverence of the scene. The lamb, lying calmly on the table, is surrounded by various sacrificial animals, emphasizing the importance of the sacrifice. The animals' attentive gaze and the delicate folds of their fur add a sense of life and vitality to the composition. The Paschal Lamb print is a beautiful representation of a pivotal moment in Jewish history, which continues to be celebrated during the Passover Seder meal. This image invites us to reflect on the significance of the Paschal Lamb as a symbol of deliverance, sacrifice, and the enduring bond between the Jewish people and their faith.
