EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Plate 11: Joshua Ordering the Sun to Stand Still, an Enigmatic Depiction of Biblical Power and Astronomical Marvels". This print showcases Plate 11 from the renowned series "The Battles of the Old Testament" created by Italian artists Antonio Tempesta and Nicolaus van Aelst between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable etching captures a pivotal moment in religious history. Intriguingly, the image portrays Joshua, leader of the Israelites, commanding the sun to halt its movement during a fierce battle. This dramatic scene combines elements of war, religion, science, and mythology. Mounted on horseback amidst chaotic fighting below him, Joshua's futile attempt to defy nature's laws is symbolized by his outstretched arm towards the solar system above. Tempesta's masterful artistry brings forth a sense of awe as he skillfully depicts horses charging into battle alongside soldiers clad in armor. The intricate details highlight both human strength and vulnerability against cosmic forces beyond their control. This thought-provoking artwork not only reflects biblical narratives but also raises questions about man's place within a vast universe governed by celestial mechanics. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict or desperation, humans have sought solace in faith while grappling with existential mysteries.
