EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, plate six from Nicolaes de Bruyn's series "The Nine Worthies," showcases the biblical hero Judas Macabee, a prominent figure in Jewish history. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, Judas Macabee led the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire, securing religious freedom for the Jewish people in Judea. In this print, Judas Macabee is depicted as a resolute and determined man, clad in priestly garments and holding a circular shield in one hand and a sword in the other. The hilt of the sword is intricately detailed, adding to the decorative nature of the engraving. The image is inset within an ornate frame, further emphasizing the circular shape of the composition. The plate is an impressive example of Flemish engraving from the 16th century. The artist, Nicolaes de Bruyn, masterfully captures the essence of Judas Macabaeus, a symbol of Jewish heritage and resilience. This print, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human history and religious traditions.
