EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from the Cologne Bible, created between 1478 and 1480, depicts a profound biblical scene from Numbers: 22-24. The print showcases the moment when Balaam's ass perceives the angel of the Lord while remaining unseen to Balaam himself. The image transports us back to a late medieval setting on a dusty dirt road. Two men are depicted in this powerful composition; one is Balaam, riding atop his loyal donkey, and the other is an angel sent by God. Balaam appears oblivious to the divine presence before him as he holds onto his riding crop firmly. Intriguingly, it is only through observing the reaction of Balaam's ass that we become aware of this supernatural encounter unfolding before our eyes. The donkey stands tall with its ears perked up and eyes fixated on something beyond human perception - an ethereal being holding a sword. This woodcut not only symbolizes faith but also highlights themes of obedience and spiritual awakening found within Christianity and Judaism alike. It serves as a reminder that sometimes we may be blind to what lies ahead or fail to recognize heavenly interventions in our lives. Through intricate details expertly carved into wood, this historical artwork invites contemplation about our own journeys along life's roads – urging us to remain attentive for signs that may guide us towards higher truths or unexpected revelations.
