EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving depicts the biblical scene of Jehoshaphat, the King of Judah, triumphing over the Moabites and Ammonites. The artwork, part of an unidentified series of Bible prints from that era, showcases a pivotal moment in history as described in 2 Chronicles 20. The print captures the intensity and chaos of battle with its intricate details and expert craftsmanship. Soldiers clad in armor fill the battlefield, representing various armed forces united under Jehoshaphat's command. Among them are both male and female soldiers, highlighting their bravery and dedication to defending their faith. The artist skillfully portrays the clash between good and evil through contrasting elements within the composition. On one side stands Jehoshaphat leading his troops with unwavering determination while on the other side looms a defeated enemy army ravaged by war. Religious symbolism is also present throughout this remarkable piece. Inscriptions in Hebrew adorn parts of the engraving, emphasizing its connection to Judaism and Jewish religious traditions. Overall, this black-and-white masterpiece not only serves as a visual representation of an ancient biblical event but also reflects themes such as victory, conquests, loyalty to one's faith, and divine intervention. Its historical significance combined with artistic excellence makes it a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition dedicated to religious art from centuries past.
