EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Asahel slain by Abner, as described in 2 Samuel II, verse 23. The artwork showcases an intense moment filled with warlike pride and swift pursuit. Asahel, known for his remarkable speed, is seen relentlessly chasing after Abner. However, in a tragic turn of events, Abner strikes him down with a fatal blow from his spear. The artist skillfully captures the tension and emotion of this pivotal moment in Scripture history. The engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Scripture History designed for the Improvement of Youth" by Alexander Fletcher and published by George Virtue in 1839. Through intricate details and masterful technique, this print invites viewers to reflect on themes such as bravery, ambition, and mortality. It serves as a reminder that even those blessed with exceptional abilities are not exempt from the perils of conflict. Displayed within a private collection today but made accessible through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Bridgeman Images, this powerful image offers both aesthetic pleasure and intellectual engagement. Whether one appreciates religious art or simply admires historical engravings like this one, it undoubtedly sparks curiosity about ancient tales that continue to resonate across time.
