EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving "Moses in the land of Midian" transports viewers to a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by Henri-Frederic Schopin, this print captures the essence of Moses' journey and his encounter with destiny. The scene is richly detailed, showcasing the artist's meticulous craftsmanship. In this depiction, we see Moses standing amidst the vast expanse of Midian, a land that would become his refuge and sanctuary. His figure emanates strength and wisdom as he gazes into the distance, contemplating his purpose and seeking guidance from above. The landscape surrounding him reflects both beauty and desolation - a metaphor for Moses' own inner turmoil. This engraving was originally commissioned as an illustration for "The Holy Bible with notes by Matthew Henry" published by Virtue around 1860. It serves as a visual companion to one of the most significant stories in scripture - Moses' exile from Egypt after killing an Egyptian overseer who was mistreating Hebrew slaves. Schopin skillfully captures the emotional depth of this pivotal moment in Moses' life through intricate details such as facial expressions, lighting effects, and carefully chosen symbolism. As viewers engage with this print, they are invited to reflect on their own journeys - moments when they too have sought solace or answers in unfamiliar lands. "Moses in the land of Midian" stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and spiritual introspection. Its timeless message continues to resonate today, reminding us that even amidst uncertainty and adversity
