EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of medieval art, Ms 59 fol. 17r The Construction of the Tower of Babel, from Bible Historiale by Guiart des Moulins. Created in the 14th century by an anonymous French artist, this vellum manuscript transports us back to biblical times. The image depicts the ambitious endeavor undertaken by King Nimrod and his people as they construct the legendary Tower of Babel. With meticulous attention to detail, the artist captures every aspect of this monumental construction project. From laborers diligently working on various levels to craftsmen carefully placing bricks, it is evident that building this tower was no small feat. The intricate architecture and design elements showcased in this artwork provide insight into ancient Babylonian culture and their advanced engineering skills. The presence of ladders symbolizes human ambition and determination to reach new heights. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Genesis' story where God confounded humanity's language as a response to their arrogance. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that excessive pride can lead to downfall. Preserved within Bibliotheque Municipale in Troyes, France, this historical masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its rich symbolism and artistic brilliance. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication in making such treasures accessible for all to appreciate, we can now admire and reflect upon the timeless beauty captured within Ms 59 fol. 17r The Construction of the Tower of Babel.
