EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Exodus. In "Exodus 9 8-12 The Seven Plagues of Egypt: Moses and the plague of boils" we witness the divine punishment inflicted upon Pharaoh's kingdom. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 15th century, this coloured woodcut evokes both awe and horror. The image depicts Moses, a revered figure in Christianity, standing amidst a scene of devastation. Boils cover the bodies of Egyptians as they suffer under God's wrathful hand. This haunting portrayal serves as a reminder of the consequences that befall those who defy divine authority. The Nuremberg Bible (Biblia Sacra Germanaica) is renowned for its exquisite illustrations, and this woodcut is no exception. Its intricate details bring to life the anguish experienced during this particular plague – ulcers bursting with pain and suffering are vividly depicted. As we gaze upon this artwork, it prompts us to reflect on themes such as faith, redemption, and obedience to higher powers. It reminds us that even in times of great affliction, there is hope for salvation through spiritual devotion. This powerful image resonates beyond religious boundaries; it speaks to our shared human experience with illness and disease throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that health is not something to be taken for granted but cherished and protected. Through its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print invites contemplation on profound theological concepts while also reminding us of
