EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the Thomas Bankes Bible, created in the late 18th century, depicts a poignant moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis (13:2). In this scene, Lot, played by the figure in the foreground, bids farewell to his uncle Abram (Abraham), portrayed in the background, as they part ways. According to the biblical narrative, the land could not support both their herds and flocks, leading to a dispute between their shepherds. To resolve the conflict, Abram suggested that Lot choose which land he would prefer to dwell in. Lot, enticed by the fertile plains of Jordan, opted to leave his uncle and settle there, marking the beginning of the separation of their families. The serene yet melancholic expression on Lot's face as he turns to bid farewell to Abram underscores the emotional significance of this moment. The gentle rolling hills in the background, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun, add to the idyllic atmosphere. This scene encapsulates the themes of family, separation, and the human condition's inherent desire for land and security. The Thomas Bankes Bible, a masterpiece of British biblical illumination, is renowned for its intricate and detailed illustrations. This particular image, with its delicate use of color and fine line work, showcases the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The print, created in 1787, serves as a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the role it plays in shaping our collective cultural heritage.
