EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Esther. King Ahasuerus, depicted on the left, hands his signet ring to Haman, symbolizing his approval of a sinister plan that could lead to the extermination of all Jews. The weighty decision is announced in the background as grief-stricken Jews mourn with ashes on their heads. In contrast, Queen Esther stands resolute on the right side of the image. She is seen in her chamber instructing a servant to bring clothes for Mordecai, who refuses them due to mourning. Further back, Ester can be seen deep in prayer, seeking divine intervention and hoping for a favorable outcome. The Latin reference below this powerful scene points to Bible text Est. 3:9 which describes Haman's plea and Ahasuerus' consent for mass genocide against the Jewish people. This print forms part of an album titled "History of Ester" and "Den Grooten Figuer-Bibel" showcasing Hans Collaert's masterful engraving skills. Through this evocative artwork, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by Esther and her people during this critical period. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great distress and danger, there is always hope for redemption through faith and courage.
