Apprehensively Babel Builders Close Heaven Jesus Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of apprehension as Jesus looks down upon the builders of the Tower of Babel from the heavens above. The Tower of Babel, a legendary structure famously described in the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible, was an ambitious project initiated by a united human population in an attempt to reach the heavens and challenge God's supremacy. The German MS (Manuscript) from which this print is derived dates back to the Middle Ages, providing a historical perspective to this biblical tale. The intricate details of the illustration show the builders working diligently, their faces focused and determined, oblivious to the divine intervention unfolding above. Jesus, depicted with a serious expression, gazes down at the scene below with a sense of concern and foreboding. His presence signifies the impending divine intervention, as God confuses the builders' language and scatters them across the earth. This moment of apprehension serves as a reminder of the consequences of human hubris and the power of the divine. The disconcerting closeness of the builders to the heavens in this image adds to the sense of tension and anticipation. The use of rich colors, intricate details, and the overall composition of the illustration make it a captivating and thought-provoking piece of religious art from the past.
