EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "Goatherd with goats" takes us back in time to a pastoral scene filled with tranquility and simplicity. Created by the Swiss scholar Johann Jakob Scheuchzer, this artwork is part of his renowned publication "Physique sacree, ou Histoire-naturelle de la Bible" (Sacred Physics or Natural History of the Bible), which was published between 1732 and 1737. In this enchanting print, we see a goatherd surrounded by his flock of goats. The goatherd stands tall and proud, wearing traditional clothing that reflects the fashion of the era. His weathered face tells stories of hard work and dedication to his craft. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each goat is meticulously rendered with delicate lines that bring them to life on paper. They graze peacefully in the lush countryside, their presence adding an element of harmony to the composition. Scheuchzer's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also highlights his deep knowledge and passion for biblical history. Through "Physique sacree" he aimed to explore natural phenomena mentioned in religious texts while providing scientific explanations for these occurrences. This exquisite engraving serves as a testament to Scheuchzer's commitment to merging artistry with scholarship. It invites viewers into a world where nature intertwines seamlessly with spirituality—a reminder of our connection to both the physical realm and divine forces beyond our comprehension.
