EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Gideon series titled "Gideon selects men by the river History of Gideon" takes us back in time to an ancient biblical tale. In this scene, after an initial selection process, there are still too many men chosen by Gideon. Seeking divine guidance, God advises Gideon to take the remaining men to the river. The image depicts three hundred men kneeling down to drink water while another group uses their hands to lap up the water like dogs. It is a moment of separation and distinction between those who will be part of Israel's liberation and those who will not. Printed on paper using engraving techniques, this artwork is part of a larger album known as "Thesaurus sacrarum historiaru [m] veteris testame [n] ti". The anonymous artist skillfully captures this pivotal moment with intricate details and expressive imagery. Accompanying the artwork is a caption written in Latin that further enhances its historical significance. This print serves as a visual representation of an important event in religious history and offers viewers a glimpse into ancient traditions and beliefs. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, this print transports us back in time, allowing us to reflect on faith, destiny, and the power of divine intervention.
