EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Plate 19 of the Woodcuts from Books of the 15th Century, a portfolio assembled in 1929. The print depicts the biblical scene of David and the Chosen Men of Israel Accompanying the Ark from The Bible, also known as the Ninth German Bible. The exact creators of this masterpiece remain unknown, but it is attributed to Anton Koberger and Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber. The scene is set in the ancient land of Israel, with David, the chosen king, riding on a horse-drawn vehicle, leading his people in a procession. The Ark of the Covenant, a sacred artifact representing the presence of God, is carried on the shoulders of six men, surrounded by a throng of other Israelites. The intricately detailed woodcut showcases the devotion and reverence of the people as they accompany the Ark on its journey. The image is a testament to the rich cultural and artistic heritage of the 15th century, a time when the art of woodcutting reached new heights. The print is hand-coloured, adding depth and vibrancy to the black and white woodcut. The letterpress and lettering on the page further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork. This antique print is a precious addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, offering a glimpse into the history and traditions of the Old Testament and the Christian faith. The intricate details of the woodcut, the devotion of the figures, and the sense of movement and energy in the scene make it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
