EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the late medieval era depicts a scene straight out of the Old Testament. In this biblical tale, spies were sent to Canaan to scout the land and report back on its riches and inhabitants. The spies returned bearing an astonishing sight - a cluster of grapes so enormous that it required two men to carry it! This extraordinary image, taken from the Cologne Bible dating back to 1478-80, showcases the awe-inspiring bounty of Canaan. The woodcut portrays two figures dressed in traditional attire, with one man laboriously carrying the colossal bunch of grapes suspended from a pole while his companion walks alongside him. Their hats indicate their religious affiliation as Israelites, representing Judaism in this ancient narrative. This artwork not only captures a significant moment in biblical history but also provides insight into German artistry during that period. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this woodcut highlight both cultural and religious influences prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back centuries ago when secret agents embarked on daring missions for their people. It serves as a reminder of our collective human fascination with exploration and discovery across different cultures throughout history.
