EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Jezebel looking out of a window on Jehu" transports us to biblical times, capturing a pivotal moment in the Old Testament. The image depicts Jezebel, an infamous queen known for her treacherous ways, peering anxiously through a window as she observes Jehu approaching. The artwork is part of the 19th-century English School collection and is now privately owned. The scene symbolizes Jezebel's downfall and impending doom as foretold in the Bible. Her expression reflects both fear and defiance, perhaps aware that her wicked actions have caught up with her. This powerful portrayal invites contemplation on themes such as religious morality, consequences of one's choices, and divine justice. The print was originally created as an illustration for "The Prize Bible" published by Wells Gardner, Darton & Co around 1890. It has been digitally cleaned to restore its original beauty while retaining its historical significance. Through this image, we are reminded of the enduring influence of biblical stories across various religions like Christianity and Judaism. Jezebel's headdress signifies her status as a queen within these faiths' narratives. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it sparks curiosity about our own moral compasses and serves as a visual reminder of the timeless lessons found within ancient texts.
