EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print by Michael Wolgemut depicts a dramatic scene from the 15th century. On one side, we see Pharaoh and his host perishing in the Red Sea, with horses and men drowning as waves crash around them. The level of detail in this illustration is truly remarkable, capturing the chaos and despair of this biblical event.
On the other side, we witness the freeing of King Joachim of Jerusalem, another powerful monarch facing his own trials. The intricate lettering and German text add to the authenticity of this historical artwork, transporting us back to a time when kings ruled with absolute authority.
Wolgemut's skill as an artist shines through in every aspect of this print - from the facial expressions of the figures to the movement of their horses. It's clear that he was a master at capturing emotion and action in his illustrations.
As we gaze upon this piece from Heritage Images, we can't help but be drawn into its world of royalty, power struggles, and divine intervention. It serves as a reminder of both the fragility and strength of those who hold positions of authority throughout history.
