EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the "Fish Spits Jonah Land History Jonah" series title captures a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Jonah. After spending three days and nights inside the belly of a massive fish, Jonah is finally expelled onto dry land. The image showcases God observing Jonah's emergence from a cloud, while the calm waters at sea reflect the gentle rays of the rising sun. The print, accompanied by an explanatory text in Latin, is part of a larger album titled "Thesaurus Sacrarum Historiarum Veteris Testamenti" which features meticulously crafted engravings depicting various scenes from religious narratives. Created by Philips Galle in Antwerp during 1566 or 1579, this particular artwork stands out due to its attention to detail and artistic excellence. In this depiction, Jonah may be seen as nude and bald-headed, symbolizing vulnerability and humility after his transformative experience within the fish's belly. As he emerges onto solid ground once again, he receives another divine commandment from God: to preach in Nineveh. The Liszt Collection preserves this remarkable piece as an example of historical artistry that brings ancient stories to life through vivid imagery. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with faith and spirituality throughout history.
