EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, wages war against Jeroboam. The scene is taken from the Book of Hours of Louis d Orleans, dating back to 1490. Painted by Jean Colombe on vellum, this illuminated manuscript showcases the medieval artistry and storytelling prowess. The image depicts a dramatic siege on Jerusalem with towering city walls serving as a backdrop. Archers stand poised atop these fortifications, ready to defend their kingdom against the invading army led by Jeroboam. The air is thick with tension as arrows fly through the sky and soldiers engage in fierce battle below. Rebellion looms large in this historical narrative, symbolized by Jeroboam's usurpation of power and his relentless pursuit to overthrow Rehoboam's reign. Amidst the chaos and violence, lives are lost and casualties mount. Colombe's masterful use of light and color brings this ancient conflict to life while showcasing his artistic skill. Each brushstroke illuminates not only the physicality of warfare but also its emotional toll on those involved. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness an epic clash between two powerful forces – one fighting for control while another rebels against oppression.
