EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A Moor standing on a tower blowing a horn to wake the dead and gather them in the valley of Josaphat" transports us to a mystical biblical scene. The image depicts an enigmatic figure, dressed as a Moorish character, standing tall atop a tower. With great intensity, he blows into his horn, resonating across the vast landscape. The setting is none other than the fabled Valley of Josaphat - an ancient Middle Eastern location steeped in religious significance. According to biblical accounts found in the Book of Joel from the Old Testament, this valley serves as a gathering place for all souls during Judgment Day. The French School artist skillfully captures both African and Middle Eastern influences within this engraving. The intricate details showcase their expertise while evoking an aura of mystery and spirituality. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded of Christianity's rich tapestry and its deep roots in biblical narratives. This artwork invites contemplation on themes such as life after death and divine judgment. While it remains unclear whether this piece was intended for commercial use or not, its historical value cannot be denied. It stands as a testament to artistic expression inspired by religious texts that have shaped cultures throughout centuries past.
