Jonah Cast on Shore by the Fish, ca. 1585 - A Miraculous Encounter
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Antonius Wierix and Hieronymous Wierix in the late 16th century, depicts a powerful moment from biblical mythology. The engraving showcases Jonah, a male figure of great significance in Christianity's Old Testament. In this scene, Jonah is shown being cast onto the shore by an enormous fish—a mythical creature with sharp teeth and a seashell-like body. The artists' attention to detail brings this extraordinary encounter to life as we witness Jonah emerging from the mouth of the beast unharmed. The print beautifully captures both the awe-inspiring nature of this miraculous event and its religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of faith's ability to transcend boundaries between man and nature. Antonius Wierix and Hieronymous Wierix were renowned Netherlandish artists associated with the Northern Renaissance movement. Their collaboration on this piece demonstrates their mastery of engraving techniques, highlighting intricate details such as scales on the fish's body or texture on Jonah's clothing. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print stands as a testament to these artists' enduring legacy within heritage art collections worldwide. Its timeless appeal continues to inspire viewers today, inviting us into a world where mythological creatures coexist with humanity while emphasizing themes of redemption and divine intervention.
