EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Death of Jezebel, 2 Kings" captures a powerful moment from biblical history. Illustrated by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in the mid-19th century, this image depicts a scene from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings. In this gripping illustration, we witness the dramatic demise of Queen Jezebel. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and brutality of her downfall as described in chapter IX verses 32-33. As Jezebel looks out from a window, she is confronted by two or three eunuchs who have pledged their loyalty to Jehu, anointed king by divine command. With chilling determination, Jehu commands his followers to throw Jezebel down. In a horrifying act of violence, her blood splatters against the wall and horses below while Jehu tramples over her lifeless body underfoot. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's attention to detail brings this ancient story to life with vivid imagery and emotional depth. This artwork serves as a reminder of the religious significance embedded within our cultural heritage and invites contemplation on themes such as power struggles, divine justice, and human frailty. This print not only showcases artistic talent but also offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on timeless moral lessons found within religious texts like the Bible.
