EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic moment of "The death of Absalom during the Battle of Ephraims Wood". In this biblical scene, Absalom's flowing hair becomes entangled in a tree branch, causing him to be thrown from his horse. His fate is sealed as Joab swiftly takes advantage of the situation and kills him. The heart-wrenching news reaches David, King of Israel, who utters his famous lament, "O Absalom, my son, my son!". German engraver Moritz Ferdinand Geringswald skillfully brings this poignant event to life through his detailed engraving based on a painting by German artist Julius Schnoor von Carolsfeld. The composition beautifully portrays the intensity and sorrow surrounding Absalom's demise. This historical illustration not only serves as a visual representation but also delves into themes such as family dynamics and the consequences of rebellion. It transports us back to ancient times when battles were fought with swords instead of guns. Ken Welsh's print preserves this significant moment from the Old Testament for generations to come. Its archival quality ensures that this piece remains an invaluable part of our history and artistic heritage. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions, it invites contemplation on human nature and reminds us of the enduring power found within biblical narratives.
