EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Job covered with sores" by Jacques Stella, takes us back to a profound biblical tale. The print showcases a pivotal moment in the argument between God and Satan, as they test the faith of Job. The image depicts Job, an elderly prophet from the Old Testament, suffering from painful boils that cover his body. His once dignified appearance is marred by infection and disease, evident in his afflicted skin and disheveled beard. Mocked by friends who question his righteousness amidst such suffering, Job remains steadfast in his devotion to God. Stella's intricate engraving skillfully captures the physical torment endured by this iconic figure of Christianity. Each line etched on paper portrays not only the external wounds but also reflects the internal struggle faced by Job. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of human vulnerability and resilience in times of adversity. It invites contemplation on themes such as faith, perseverance, and divine intervention. Preserved within eArchives Charmet at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; this historical piece continues to inspire viewers through its powerful imagery and timeless message. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection without commercial intent or mention thereof; we are transported into a world where art intertwines with spirituality and storytelling transcends time itself.
