EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from Conrad Lycosthenes' Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon, Basel, 1557, depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history. In this scene, Moses, the revered figure of both Judaism and Christianity, is shown striking a rock in the wilderness to produce water. The image exudes an air of mysticism as Moses raises his staff high above his head with determination and faith. His flowing robes billow around him as he channels divine power into the rock before him. The rugged landscape surrounding him serves as a stark backdrop to emphasize the miraculous nature of this event. Moses' actions symbolize not only his unwavering trust in God but also his role as a leader guiding his people through their arduous journey towards freedom. This powerful representation captures the essence of Old Testament literature and its profound impact on religious traditions. The intricate details carved into the woodcut bring life to every element within the composition – from Moses' expressive face filled with resolve to each droplet cascading down from the newly formed spring. It is a testament to Conrad's skillful craftsmanship that allows viewers to immerse themselves in this ancient narrative. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for spiritual nourishment and guidance amidst challenging circumstances.
