So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, 1841. Creator: Peter Lightfoot

So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, 1841. Biblical scene, from 2 Samuel 24: 15: So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. The plague of the Philistines at Ashdod: the dead and dying lying in the streets after God sent a plague which killed 70, 000. The woman in the centre has blood or pus seeping from her armpit. Buboes - painful swellings in the thighs, neck, groin or armpits - are a symptom of bubonic plague. Engraving after a 17th century work by Pierre Mignard

EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photo print, titled "So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel, 1841" captures a biblical scene from 2 Samuel 24:15. Created by Peter Lightfoot, this engraving depicts the devastating plague that struck Israel as divine retribution. The image showcases the aftermath of God's wrath, with dead and dying bodies scattered in the streets of Ashdod. The central figure is a woman who epitomizes the suffering inflicted by this merciless epidemic. Blood or pus seeps from her armpit, indicating buboes - painful swellings associated with bubonic plague. This detail adds to the overall sense of despair and anguish portrayed in this powerful artwork. The architectural elements in the background evoke a classical setting, perhaps symbolizing both ancient times and timeless faith. The avenue leading towards a temple signifies religious beliefs intertwined with human suffering. Peter Lightfoot's work draws inspiration from Pierre Mignard's 17th-century masterpiece, infusing it with his own artistic interpretation. By combining historical references with contemporary techniques, Lightfoot creates an emotionally charged visual narrative that resonates across centuries. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability to disease and our enduring quest for answers amidst adversity. It encapsulates themes of punishment, faith, illness, and mortality while inviting viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and experiences in relation to these universal concepts.
