EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Destruction of the Idolatrous Israelites before their Idols, Ezekiel VI, 4,5" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament. In this powerful scene, we witness the consequences faced by idolatrous Israelites who have strayed from their faith and worshipped false idols. The engraving depicts a group of individuals surrounded by their cherished idols as divine retribution strikes them down. The intensity is palpable as lightning bolts descend upon these wayward souls and reduce their precious statues to rubble. Rendered with meticulous detail and skillful artistry, this image serves as a visual reminder of the importance of remaining faithful and avoiding temptation. It brings to life one of many cautionary tales found within religious texts that continue to resonate with believers today. Originally created for Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition in approximately 1880, this engraving showcases how art can be used to enhance our understanding and appreciation of ancient stories passed down through generations. Preserved in private collections over time, it now finds its place among other treasured works at Fine Art Finder thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical masterpieces like this one.
