EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the dramatic moment of Gideon destroying the Altar of Baal. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a pivotal scene from the Old Testament's Book of Judges. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition. In this powerful image, Gideon stands tall amidst a chaotic backdrop, wielding his weapon with determination. The intensity on his face reflects his unwavering commitment to upholding God's commandments and eradicating idolatry. Surrounding him are remnants of the once revered Altar of Baal, now reduced to rubble under Gideon's righteous fury. The significance of this biblical story resonates throughout history as it symbolizes triumph over evil and faithfulness to one's beliefs. It serves as a reminder that even in times when darkness seems overwhelming, individuals driven by conviction can bring about profound change. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back in time to witness Gideon's courageous act unfold before our eyes. This artwork not only celebrates religious heritage but also invites contemplation on themes such as sacrifice, devotion, and spiritual resilience found within both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece for us to appreciate its artistic merit while immersing ourselves in its rich historical context.
