EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "The Priests Carry the Ark of the Covenant," is a stunning 17th-century artwork by the renowned German artist Jost Ammon. The scene depicts an essential moment from the Old Testament book of Joshua, as the Israelite priests, dressed in intricately designed garments, carefully carry the Ark of the Covenant during a procession. The Ark, a sacred chest that housed the Ten Commandments, is adorned with elaborate gold lettering and ornate decorations. The priests, with solemn expressions and outstretched hands, hold the poles attached to the Ark, as they make their way through the water of the Jordan River. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in this hand-colored woodcut bring the biblical narrative to life, transporting us back to ancient Israel. This masterpiece, part of the Biblia series, is a testament to Jost Ammon's artistic skill and the enduring power of religious art. Today, this precious work of heritage art can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
