EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "2 Scenes from the life of Jonah on an Old Oak Chest in the Orphan Asylum" by Joseph Manning. The artwork, dating back to 1828, is currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. Donated by William Jerdone Braikenridge in 1908, this piece is a testament to British history and religious art. The intricate carving on the old oak chest depicts scenes from the biblical story of Jonah. In one panel, we see Jonah being swallowed by a massive whale as he attempts to escape his divine mission. The other panel portrays his eventual release from the belly of the whale after repenting for his disobedience. Manning's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of pencil and watercolor on paper. The wooden panels come alive with vivid colors and lifelike depictions of marine mammals surrounding Jonah during his ordeal. This artwork not only serves as a beautiful example of Northern Renaissance craftsmanship but also reflects themes of faith, redemption, and obedience found within Christianity. It stands as a reminder that even those who find themselves alone or abandoned can still find solace through their spiritual journey. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it continues to inspire viewers today with its powerful storytelling and artistic brilliance.
