EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The fourth plague of Egypt" from a book of Bible Pictures dating back to around 1250. Created by the talented William de Brailes, this masterpiece is now housed in the Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, France. The image depicts a scene from the Old Testament where Moses and Aaron bring forth a devastating swarm of insects upon Egypt as punishment for Pharaoh's refusal to release the Israelites. The intricate details and vibrant colors on this vellum manuscript highlight the skillful artistry of medieval illuminations. The chaotic yet mesmerizing composition captures the moment when countless insects descend upon Egypt, causing destruction and pestilence throughout the land.
