EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodcut print, published in 1483 as part of the Ninth German Bible, or Cologne Bible, depicts two biblical scenes from the Book of Exodus. On the recto (front), God sends a swarm of flies to torment the Egyptians as a punishing plague. The Egyptians, including Pharaoh and his court, are shown frantically trying to escape the relentless insects. On the verso (back), God sends a second plague, this time in the form of boils, which afflict the Egyptian people and their livestock. The deity is depicted above each scene, sending down his divine punishment upon the land of Mizraim (Egypt). This woodcut print, created in the 15th century in Germany, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Old Testament and the enduring power of religious iconography. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting us back to ancient Egypt and the time of Moses and the Pharaohs. The print is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic and cultural heritage. The scenes of God sending the flies and boils to Egypt are powerful reminders of the biblical narrative and the role of divine intervention in the lives of God's people. The woodcut print also serves as a visual record of the artistic and religious traditions of the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the worldview and beliefs of the time. Overall, this stunning work of art is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the human desire to understand and interpret the divine.
