EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dew Upon the Fleece of Wool," is an engraving from the 16th century, specifically from the 1560s, created by an unknown artist. This image is part of a series of engravings titled "The Story of Gideon," taken from the Old Testament of the Bible. The print depicts the emergence of the dew upon the fleece of wool, as commanded by the Prophet Gideon, as a sign from God to confirm his army's victory against the Midianites. The image is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Dutch Renaissance, with its intricate details and masterful use of contrast. The engravings showcase the appearance of a lone soldier, standing guard with his shield and sword, as the dew begins to appear on the fleece of wool spread out before him. The soldier, dressed in military attire, is shown with a determined expression, as he waits patiently for the sign from God. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the art, culture, and history of the Low Countries during the Renaissance period. The engravings were produced during the time of Maarten Jacobsz van Heemskerck, a renowned Dutch artist, and his influence can be seen in the intricate details and masterful use of contrast in the print. Today, "The Dew Upon the Fleece of Wool" is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the past. The image continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
