1690 Biblical Exodus Manna Moses Rain Raining Supply Testament Wilderness
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century print depicts the biblical account of The Raining Down of Manna as described in the Book of Exodus (16:4-36). In this Old Testament narrative, the Israelites, led by Moses, wandered in the desert wilderness after their escape from Egypt. Struggling with hunger and thirst, they were miraculously supplied with food in the form of manna, described as "a small round thing, white like coriander seed, and tasted like wafers made with honey." The image captures the moment when the manna began to rain down from the heavens, providing a miraculous and sustaining source of nourishment for the Israelites during their arduous journey. The print shows the Israelites, with their outstretched arms and open mouths, eagerly receiving the manna as it falls from the clouds above. This beautiful and intricately detailed print, created in the late 1600s, is a testament to the artistic and religious sensibilities of the time. The use of bold lines, rich colors, and expressive figures brings the story to life, making it a captivating and inspiring work of art. The print also serves as a reminder of the faith and resilience of the Israelites, who, despite facing numerous challenges, continued to trust in God's provision and guidance throughout their journey. The Raining Down of Manna is an invaluable addition to any collection of biblical art or religious history, and is a powerful reminder of the power and sustenance that can be found in faith and the natural world.
