EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving titled "Jacob, the Faithful Shepherd, protecting his flock of sheep from the attack by wolves" we witness a powerful biblical scene come to life. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 18th century, this print beautifully depicts Jacob's unwavering dedication to safeguarding his beloved flock. As the wolves descend upon the vulnerable sheep, Jacob stands tall and resolute, fearlessly defending them with every ounce of strength he possesses. His eyes burn with determination as he brandishes a staff against these fierce predators. The intensity of the moment is palpable; one can almost hear the snarls and feel the tension in the air. This image draws inspiration from Genesis Chapter 31, verses 39-40, where it is revealed that Jacob faithfully served his uncle Laban as a shepherd for two decades. It symbolizes not only Jacob's commitment to his duty but also serves as a reminder of God's protection over those who trust in Him. The intricate engravings bring depth and texture to each element within this composition - from every strand of wool on each sheep's back to every hair on the menacing wolves' fur. This artwork transports us back in time and allows us to witness firsthand an ancient tale that still resonates today. Through its religious undertones and depiction of nature's raw power, this print captures both our imagination and our hearts. It serves as a testament to faithfulness, courage, and divine providence - timeless values that continue
