EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed artwork of Johann Scheuchzer's "1731 Physica Sacra" series. In this particular image, we are transported to the fifth day of creation as described in the Bible. The folio copper engraving depicts a wide array of sea creatures, beautifully drawn by a team of talented engravers under the direction of Johann Andreas Pfeffel. Scheuchzer's ambitious project aimed to merge contemporary scientific knowledge with biblical accounts, resulting in a stunning sequence of 745 plates. During that era, there was little doubt among scholars that science (physica) provided evidence supporting the literal truth behind the Biblical chronology. In this monochrome black and white illustration, we witness an artistic representation of God's creation unfolding before our eyes. Whales gracefully swim alongside various fish species, showcasing both their diversity and beauty. This artwork serves as a testament to Scheuchzer's dedication in bridging science and religion through his work. Paul D. Stewart has skillfully captured this historical masterpiece through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details even more profoundly. As we gaze upon this print, it is impossible not to marvel at both nature's wonders and humanity's quest for understanding our origins – an eternal dialogue between science and faith that continues to shape our world today.
