EDITORS COMMENTS
Sennacherib's Wrath and the Angel of the Lord: A Biblical Narrative (circa 701 BC) This evocative print, depicting the Assyrian ruler Sennacherib (reign name: Barlaam) and the Angel of the Lord, recounts a pivotal moment in the Old Testament book of 2 Kings. In the year 701 BC, Sennacherib, known for his military prowess and religious intolerance, led an assault against the city of Jerusalem. The Jewish population, under the leadership of King Hezekiah, prepared for the impending invasion, but their hopes seemed to falter as Sennacherib boasted of his invincibility, comparing himself to a wolf coming down upon the fold. However, the tables turned dramatically when the Angel of the Lord intervened in the form of the bubonic plague. The Angel struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in a single night, leaving Sennacherib and his remaining forces to retreat in disarray. This miraculous event is described in vivid detail in the biblical text, leaving a lasting impression on readers and viewers throughout history. The print, with its intricate details and powerful symbolism, captures the essence of this biblical narrative. Sennacherib, depicted as a fierce and determined warrior, stands atop his chariot, ready to unleash his fury upon the city. In contrast, the Angel of the Lord, in the form of the bubonic plague, is shown as a relentless force, sweeping through the Assyrian ranks and leaving devastation in its wake. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the power and unpredictability of divine intervention in human affairs.
