Fall of Antiochus From His Chariot - A Glimpse into Divine Retribution in 18th Century Syria
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Noel Halle in the 18th century, depicts a significant incident from ancient history - the fall of Antiochus IV Epiphanes from his chariot. The image showcases an etching in red ink, adding a touch of color to this monochrome masterpiece. Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a powerful monarch and ruler of the Seleucid Empire, met with divine retribution on a fateful day. As he rode triumphantly through the country roads of Syria, fate intervened and caused him to be thrown off his majestic chariot. This accident marked a turning point in his reign and health. Halle's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of this historical event.

Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as both a testament to Halle's artistic prowess and an important reminder that even mighty rulers are subject to unforeseen circumstances. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as power dynamics, mortality, and divine intervention within historical contexts. Noel Halle's photograph offers us not only visual delight but
