EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The scapegoat sent into the wilderness - Bible" captures a powerful biblical scene from Leviticus, chapter XVI. The image showcases the solemn moment when Aaron, with both hands laid upon the head of a young goat, confesses over it all the iniquities and transgressions of the children of Israel. This symbolic act represents the transfer of their sins onto this innocent creature. Taken from Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible, published in London, Paris, and New York during the 19th century, this print is an exquisite example of religious artistry. The intricate engraving beautifully portrays this significant event in Christian history. The scapegoat itself stands as a representation of sacrifice and redemption within Christianity. As it is sent away by a fit man into the wilderness, carrying upon its head all the burdensome sins of its people, it embodies both their guilt and their hope for absolution. This artwork not only serves as a visual reminder of ancient Judaic practices but also invites contemplation on themes such as forgiveness and atonement that resonate across different religions and cultures. With its historical significance and artistic finesse, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve deeper into religious literature while appreciating its aesthetic value. It reminds us that throughout time, humanity has sought solace through faith and rituals like those depicted here. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece for our enjoyment today. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to explore diverse aspects of human history through visual storytelling without commercial intent or use.
