EDITORS COMMENTS
Pieter Schoubroeck's 16th-century masterpiece, 'The Tower of Babel (oil on copper)', is a stunning representation of the biblical story from Genesis 11:1-9. The painting depicts the moment when humanity, united in their quest for power and recognition, attempted to build a tower that would reach the heavens. However, God saw their pride and confusion and confounded their language, scattering them across the earth.
In this oil on copper piece, Schoubroeck masterfully captures the chaos and disarray as people from different linguistic backgrounds struggle to communicate with one another. The artist's use of warm colors and intricate details brings to life the vibrant scene, drawing us into the midst of this ancient drama.
As we gaze upon this iconic image, we are reminded of our own human tendency towards hubris and division. Yet, amidst the turmoil lies a deeper truth - that even in our differences lies strength and diversity. This remarkable work not only showcases Schoubroeck's technical skill but also invites us to reflect on our shared humanity.
