EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vivid depiction of Exodus 10:1-20, illustrating the infamous plague of locusts that befell Egypt. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 15th century, this coloured woodcut from the Nuremberg Bible (Biblia Sacra Germanaica) offers a glimpse into biblical history and its artistic interpretation. The image portrays a scene of devastation as swarms of locusts descend upon the Egyptian landscape. The insects, depicted with meticulous detail, fill every inch of space, their sheer numbers overwhelming. As they devour crops and vegetation with voracious appetites, one can almost hear the deafening sound created by their collective buzzing wings. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth to this haunting portrayal. Shades of brown and green dominate the composition, emphasizing both the destructive power and natural beauty found within these creatures. The contrast between vibrant foliage being devoured and barren land left in their wake serves as a stark reminder of nature's ability to bring both life and destruction. This powerful artwork captures not only an important moment in religious history but also speaks to humanity's complex relationship with nature. It reminds us that even small creatures can have immense impact when unleashed en masse. Through this print, we are invited to reflect on themes such as divine intervention, environmental balance, and our own responsibility towards preserving our fragile world.
