The Firstborn are Slain - Bible
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a hauntingly powerful image that captures the devastating aftermath of the last of the Ten Plagues against the Egyptians. This 19th-century print, taken from Payne's Illustrated Family Bible, depicts a scene of unimaginable grief and despair in ancient Egypt. The caption accompanying this gripping illustration quotes Exodus 12, verse 30: "And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead". These words perfectly encapsulate the magnitude of loss and anguish experienced by every Egyptian family during this biblical event. The engraving skillfully portrays the somber atmosphere with its meticulous attention to detail. The artist masterfully conveys both individual sorrow and collective mourning as grieving figures fill the frame. Their expressions reveal pain etched deeply into their faces while they lament over their fallen firstborns. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the power and consequences associated with divine intervention. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, justice, and sacrifice found within religious texts like the Old Testament. Beyond its religious significance, this artwork also showcases historical antiquity through its depiction of ancient Egyptian culture. It offers glimpses into an era long past but still influential today. Bridgeman Images' preservation and dissemination of such significant works ensure that future generations can appreciate these artistic representations tied to literature, religion, history, and human emotion. As we contemplate "The Firstborn are Slain - Bible" we are reminded once again that art has an unparalleled ability to evoke deep emotions and provoke profound contemplation about our shared human experience.
