EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""And he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen" (gravure)" by Rochegrosse, Georges depicts a powerful biblical scene. The image showcases the moment when Nebuchadnezzar, a prominent figure in the Bible, is banished from society and forced to consume grass like an ox. Rochegrosse's artistic interpretation beautifully captures the intensity of this narrative. The use of gravure technique adds depth and texture to the engraving, enhancing its visual impact. This particular print is part of a private collection and has been digitally cleaned for optimal clarity. The illustration originates from "Great Men and Famous Women" edited by Charles Horne in 1900. It serves as a reminder of humanity's vulnerability and how even great leaders can be humbled by circumstances beyond their control. Nebuchadnezzar's story holds significant religious symbolism, illustrating themes such as pride, redemption, and humility. Through his punishment of consuming grass alongside animals, he learns valuable lessons about power dynamics and the importance of recognizing one's place in the world. This thought-provoking image invites viewers to reflect on their own lives: Are we too consumed by our egos? Do we appreciate our blessings or take them for granted? Rochegrosse's skillful portrayal prompts us to ponder these timeless questions while appreciating the artistry behind this remarkable gravure print.
