EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 18th century engraving by Joseph Wagner, depicts a biblical scene from the Old Testament. The image, created around 1745, is an etching and engraving on laid paper, showcasing intricate details and fine lines. The German artist, Jacopo Amigoni, is believed to have inspired Wagner's work, as the composition closely resembles Amigoni's style. The scene portrays the story of Rebecca, a Hebrew woman, drawing water from a well. The well is located in the desert, and the sun casts a warm, golden glow over the landscape. Rebecca, dressed in traditional Jewish attire, is shown leaning over the well, her long, flowing hair cascading down her back. Two men, also dressed in Hebrew garb, approach the well, their faces obscured by the brim of their hats. One man holds a pitcher, ready to fill it with water. The engraving is a beautiful depiction of this biblical scene, with the figures expertly rendered in black and white. The use of shading and contrast creates a sense of depth and dimension, while the intricate lettering adds to the overall aesthetic. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 18th century, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to bring biblical stories to life. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or religion, and is a valuable addition to any collection. It can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
