EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph captures a pivotal moment in history - The Jews before Caligula, AD 40. In the midst of popular revolts against the successors of Herod the Great, Judaea found itself under the harsh rule of Rome. The Procurators subjected the people to brutal treatment and plundered their land.
Emperor Caligula's decree further escalated tensions as he ordered his image to be worshipped throughout Judaea. As petitions were made to revoke this edict, shocking news emerged - the Imperial statue had been erected in the sacred Temple itself.
The scene depicted in this print from Hutchinson's History of Nations is one of betrayal and defiance. The Jewish population faced a cruel trap set by those in power, with their religious beliefs and traditions under threat.
Through intricate details and powerful imagery, artist John Harris Valda brings this tumultuous period to life. The expressions on the faces of the Jewish people convey fear, anger, and determination in equal measure.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who stood up against oppression. It serves as a poignant reminder of how faith and identity can withstand even the most challenging times in history.
