Judaism Moabites Personification Satan Belphegor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts the biblical demon of evil, Belphegor. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of this French print bring to life the dark and sinister nature of this infamous figure. Belphegor was worshipped by the Moabites according to Numbers 25:3 in the Bible, making him a significant character in Judaic mythology. The artist has masterfully personified Belphegor, showcasing his menacing presence with sharp features and piercing eyes that seem to penetrate one's soul. His long, flowing beard adds an air of wisdom and authority, contrasting with his malevolent intentions. This portrayal serves as a reminder of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The Granger Collection has preserved this historical artifact for us to appreciate its artistic value while also providing insight into ancient beliefs and religious practices. It is fascinating how art can capture such complex concepts like demons or personifications so vividly.
