EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Cologne Bible, created between 1478 and 1480, depicts a significant biblical moment - Yohevet hiding her infant son Moses. In this scene, Yohevet carefully places baby Moses into an ark made of bulrushes upon the gentle waters of the Nile River. The tension is palpable as she hides him in plain sight, hoping to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. The artist beautifully captures the emotions of a mother torn between love and fear for her child. As we gaze at this ancient artwork, we are transported back in time to witness Yohevet's bravery and resourcefulness in saving her son's life. Intriguing details emerge as we examine the image closely - a drawbridge leading to a grand building symbolizing Egypt's power; a moat surrounding it serves as both protection and obstacle for those seeking refuge. This North African setting adds depth and authenticity to the narrative. This woodcut print not only showcases exquisite craftsmanship but also holds immense religious significance for Judaism and Christianity alike. It reminds us of God's providence as Moses is discovered by Pharaoh's daughter later on (Exodus 2:1-10). As viewers, we are invited to reflect on themes such as faith, courage, maternal love, and divine intervention that resonate across cultures and generations. This historical artwork continues to inspire contemplation about humanity's capacity for resilience amidst adversity.
