EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses makes water come from a rock, when the Israelites fled into Sinai, Exodus from Egypt" transports us back to the 18th century. Created by Swiss scholar and artist Johann Jakob Scheuchzer, this piece is part of his renowned work called Physique sacree, ou Histoire-naturelle de la Bible (Sacred Physics or Natural History of the Bible). The scene depicted here showcases Moses performing one of his miraculous acts as he leads the Israelites through their treacherous journey in Sinai after fleeing Egypt. With divine intervention, Moses strikes a rock with his staff and water gushes forth to quench the thirst of his people. Scheuchzer's attention to detail and skillful engraving technique bring this biblical event to life. The intricate lines and shading create depth and texture while capturing the intensity of the moment. This engraving not only serves as a religious artwork but also highlights Scheuchzer's dedication to merging science and faith. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece, we are reminded of both the power of faith and humanity's enduring quest for knowledge. It stands as a testament to Scheuchzer's contribution in bridging art, religion, and scientific exploration during an era marked by enlightenment across Europe. This print is a treasure that allows us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and its significance within historical context – an exquisite representation that continues to inspire contemplation even centuries later.
