EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving captures the unwavering strength and resilience of a mother and her seven sons as they stand up against the tyrant Antiochus, King of Syria. Inspired by the biblical account in II Maccabees 7:29, this image depicts a pivotal moment in history where faith and courage triumph over oppression. The intricate details of Gustave Doré's engraving bring to life the determination etched on each face. The mother stands at the forefront, radiating an aura of unwavering love and fierce protection for her sons. Her eyes reflect both fear and defiance as she leads her family into battle against injustice. Surrounded by darkness, symbolizing tyranny, these brave individuals embody patriotism and loyalty to their Jewish heritage. Their actions serve as a testament to their unyielding belief in freedom and justice. As we gaze upon this print from The Granger Collection, New York, we are reminded of the timeless struggle between oppressors and those who dare to resist them. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope when we stand united against injustice. Let this image inspire us all to be courageous defenders of truth, champions for equality, and advocates for change – just like this remarkable mother and her seven sons who refused to bow down before tyranny.
