EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic biblical scene from the Book of Judges. In this 18th-century artwork, we witness Jael, a fearless woman, hammering a tent peg into the temple of the sleeping Sisera. To her right, a servant anxiously hides behind a curtain, adding an element of suspense to the composition. The image is based on an original painting by Giovanni Battista Pittoni II created between 1730 and 1739. Pietro Monaco skillfully translated Pittoni's work into this striking etching and engraving that now resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The intensity of this moment is palpable as Jael carries out her act with determination and vengeance. It showcases her bravery in taking matters into her own hands to secure victory for her people. With its intricate details and expert use of light and shadow, this print transports us back to ancient times when violence was often employed as a means to achieve justice or retribution. It serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities within religious narratives while also highlighting gender roles during that era. Pietro Monaco's masterful interpretation allows viewers to contemplate themes such as power dynamics, faith-driven actions, and the consequences they entail. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect upon our own beliefs and values in relation to religion, history, and human nature itself.
