EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pessa'h" captures the essence of a significant moment in Jewish history. Created by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in 1860, this engraving depicts the biblical story of Passover and the ten plagues of Egypt. In this powerful image, we see an angel hovering above a group of people gathered around a bakery. The scene symbolizes the Israelites' preparation for their liberation from slavery in Egypt. As instructed by Moses, they mark their doorposts with the blood of a spring lamb to protect themselves from the final plague – the death of every firstborn Egyptian. The engraving beautifully portrays both religious devotion and agricultural significance. It showcases not only the ritualistic consumption of unleavened bread (Matzo) but also highlights farming practices as an integral part of ancient Jewish culture. Through its intricate details and historical context, this artwork serves as a visual representation of faith, tradition, and freedom. It reminds us that even amidst adversity, miracles can occur when one's beliefs are steadfastly upheld. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images transports viewers back to 19th-century Germany while providing insight into centuries-old Jewish customs. Its timeless appeal makes it an invaluable addition to any art collection or exhibition seeking to explore diverse cultural narratives throughout history.
