EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Menorah, a significant symbol in Judaism since ancient times. The image is derived from Liber Chronicarum, also known as the Nuremberg Chronicle or Schedelsche Weltchronik, an account of world history by Hartmann Schedel. Published in Nuremberg in 1493, this woodcut was created by the German School during the 15th century. The Menorah depicted here adheres to its biblical description as revealed by God to Moses. It was a seven-lamp (six branches) lampstand made of gold and used in both the portable sanctuary set up during the Exodus and later in the Temple of Jerusalem. Olive oil would be burned daily to illuminate its lamps. Beyond its religious significance, this emblematic symbol holds deep cultural importance for Jewish people worldwide. In fact, it even appears on the coat of arms of modern-day Israel. With intricate details and historical context embedded within this artwork's portrayal, viewers are transported back to ancient times when faith played a central role in society. This print serves as a reminder not only of religious devotion but also highlights how art can capture profound moments from our collective human history.
