EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing medieval illustration titled "The Siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar". Created by the talented artist Jean Fouquet and his studio, this artwork is part of the French translation of Flavius Josephus' original manuscript, "Antiquites Judaiques". In this scene, we witness a dramatic clash between two powerful forces. The mighty King Nebuchadnezzar leads his Babylonian soldiers in an intense battle against the defenders of Jerusalem. With swords raised high and determination etched on their faces, these warriors engage in a fierce confrontation. The miniature captures the chaos and violence that ensues during such sieges. As arrows fly through the air and spears pierce armor, both sides fight relentlessly for victory. Amidst the turmoil, we catch glimpses of Joachim and Joiaqim bravely leading their troops to defend their sacred temple. This illustration not only depicts historical events but also serves as a testament to Fouquet's incredible artistic talent. His attention to detail brings life to every figure on this vellum manuscript page. Now preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print allows us to appreciate both the skillful craftsmanship behind it and its significance as an important piece of history.
