EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful wood engraving, titled "THE FIRSTBORN SLAIN" is a haunting depiction of the biblical event described in Exodus 12:29-30. Created by Gustave Doré, a renowned artist known for his intricate engravings, this piece captures the solemnity and tragedy of the Passover story. In this allegorical representation, we witness the devastating consequences of God's command to slay every firstborn child in Egypt. The central figure is an imposing personification of death itself - the Grim Reaper or Angel of Death - draped in dark robes and wielding a scythe. With each step he takes through the city streets, life fades away as innocent children lie motionless on the ground. Doré's attention to detail is evident throughout this print. From the anguished expressions on grieving parents' faces to the architectural elements that evoke ancient Egypt, every aspect contributes to creating a sense of sorrow and despair. "The Firstborn Slain" serves as a poignant reminder of both divine judgment and human suffering. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, redemption, and faith while contemplating our own mortality. As part of The Granger Collection's vast archive celebrating art history and cultural heritage, this wood engraving continues to captivate viewers with its emotional impact and artistic brilliance.
