EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant biblical event, where King David witnesses the terrifying power of the angel of death. The image portrays an intense scene as an angel, wielding a flaming sword, unleashes chaos and destruction upon the people of Israel from heaven above. Kneeling in awe and desperation, King David gazes up at this harrowing sight, realizing the severity of his nation's transgressions. In this moment of despair, King David implores God for mercy, recognizing that only divine intervention can save his people from further devastation. However, their plea falls on deaf ears as God decides to punish Israel with three days of plague. The avenging angel continues its ruthless mission across the land with its sword drawn high. As tragedy befalls them, seventy thousand men lose their lives amidst this relentless onslaught. This engraving by an anonymous artist hailing from Antwerp between 1614 and 1683 masterfully captures both the fear and helplessness experienced during these dark times. The intricacy and detail within this paper print allow viewers to immerse themselves in this biblical narrative while contemplating themes such as repentance and divine justice. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like King David are not immune to consequences when they stray from righteousness.
