EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Moses strikes the Rock" transports us back to biblical times. Created by Edward John Poynter in the late 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. The illustration was originally featured in Edwin Dalton's book, "Art Pictures from the Old Testament and Our Lords Parables" around 1880. In this scene, we witness Moses using his staff to strike a massive rock as water gushes forth. This powerful image symbolizes one of Moses' miracles during the Israelites' journey through the desert. As described in Psalms and other books of the Hebrew Bible, Moses struck a rock with his staff under God's instruction, providing life-giving water for his people. The artist skillfully depicts this transformative event with intricate details and shading techniques that bring depth to every stroke. Through Poynter's artistry, we can almost feel the force behind Moses' strike and hear the rush of water cascading into parched land. This engraving not only showcases Poynter's talent but also serves as a visual reminder of faith and divine intervention. It is an enduring testament to both religious history and artistic craftsmanship that continues to captivate viewers even today.
