EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intense and dramatic bear attack depicted in Johann Scheuchzer's renowned work, Physica Sacra. Created in 1731, this folio copper engraving was meticulously drawn by a team of skilled engravers under the guidance of Johann Andreas Pfeffel. The image vividly captures the powerful message conveyed in Proverbs 17:12 - "It is safer to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than to confront a fool caught in his folly". To the Israelites, witnessing a Syrian brown bear fiercely raging at the loss of her cubs represented the epitome of brute ferocity. Scheuchzer's objective with this extensive collection of 745 plates was to employ contemporary scientific knowledge to shed light on biblical accounts and human history. In this particular artwork, we witness an animal illustration that not only portrays hunting but also delves into profound themes such as maternal instinct and primal instincts. The cave bear lunges forward with jaws wide open, capturing our attention and evoking a sense of danger. Paul D. Stewart has skillfully captured this mesmerizing piece from Science Photo Library, emphasizing its significance within both artistic and religious contexts. As we delve into this remarkable visual representation, let us reflect upon the timeless wisdom encapsulated within these ancient scriptures while appreciating Scheuchzer's dedication to merging science with spirituality through his sacred physics masterpiece.
