EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a pivotal moment in history as King Josiah takes a bold stand against the worship of pagan gods. In this scene, we witness the destruction of temples dedicated to Astarte, Kemos, and Milkom. The image portrays the fervor with which Josiah's followers carry out his orders. Two men can be seen straining to pull down a towering statue from its pedestal, symbolizing the eradication of idolatry. Meanwhile, other men vigorously smash the temple into pieces using hammers, ensuring that no trace remains of these false deities. Below this powerful depiction is a reference in Latin to 2 Kings 23:14 from the Bible. This verse serves as an affirmation of Josiah's righteous mission and further emphasizes his commitment to purging his kingdom of idol worship. This particular print is part of an album titled "King Josia destroyed temples Astarte Kemos Milkom History" which forms a comprehensive narrative about Josiah's efforts to desecrate and destroy all pagan shrines throughout his entire kingdom. Created by Philips Galle between 1567 and 1579 through engraving on paper, this artwork showcases not only historical significance but also exquisite craftsmanship. It stands as a testament to Galle's skill in capturing significant moments through intricate imagery. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in ancient history when one king took drastic measures to uphold monotheism and eliminate polytheistic practices within his realm.
