EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Jephthah is welcomed by his daughter" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant and dramatic moment. Created by Nicolaes Ryckmans and Claes Jansz. Visscher II between 1616 and 1643, the image depicts the biblical story of Jephthah's return from battle. As Jephthah triumphantly enters his home, he is met with a joyous scene of celebration. His daughter stands before him, gracefully dancing with tambourines in hand, surrounded by a group of music-making women. The atmosphere is festive as they welcome their victorious hero. However, upon closer examination, one cannot help but notice the tear-stained clothes worn by Jephthah's daughter. It becomes apparent that her despair stems from her father's promise to offer up the first thing that would greet him upon his return as a sacrifice to God. This powerful image raises questions about religious devotion and the sacrifices made in its name. It serves as a reminder of the complexities within spirituality and Christianity itself. Quint Lox masterfully captures this emotional moment through his lens, allowing us to reflect on themes such as faith, duty, and family bonds. This print from Liszt Collection invites viewers into an ancient world where promises collide with love and devotion—a timeless tale beautifully preserved for generations to come.
