Lord Have Mercy Upon Us - The Plague in London
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print captures a chilling woodcut from the 17th century, depicting the devastating plague that ravaged London. In this powerful image, we witness the desperation of a city gripped by pestilence and death. The scene unfolds with an undertaker's horse-drawn wagon, laden with coffins, making its way through the desolate streets. A skeletal figure looms over the cart as if overseeing this grim procession. An angelic presence hovers above, symbolizing hope amidst despair. The woodcut serves as a visual plea to God for mercy and deliverance from this deadly disease. It conveys both the physical toll of the plague and its profound impact on faith and spirituality. The church in the background stands as a sanctuary where prayers are fervently offered in search of divine intervention. "Bring out your dead" echoes through these silent streets, reminding us of the overwhelming loss suffered by families who had to bid farewell to loved ones too soon. As we gaze upon this historical artifact frozen in time, it serves as a somber reminder of humanity's vulnerability in times of crisis. It prompts reflection on our collective resilience and capacity for compassion even amidst unimaginable suffering. This evocative artwork is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a poignant testament to human strength when faced with adversity - urging us never to forget those dark chapters that have shaped our history.
