PLAGUE OF FLIES - A Glimpse into Ancient Times
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Plague of Flies" takes us back to the 15th century and immerses us in a pivotal biblical event. The woodcut, originating from the Cologne Bible of 1478-80, beautifully captures the intensity and diversity of this plague described in Exodus 8:20-24. In this scene, we witness Moses, a revered leader among the Israelites, standing amidst a flock of sheep in an expansive North African pasture. As he raises his hands towards heaven with a halo above his head, God's power manifests through swarms of flies descending upon Egypt as punishment for Pharaoh's refusal to release the Hebrew people from slavery. The intricate details within this medieval artwork transport us to that ancient time when illness and death plagued Egypt. The artist skillfully portrays both fear and awe on the faces of those affected by this divine intervention. Beyond its religious significance, this woodcut also serves as a testament to the Renaissance era's artistic prowess. Its German origins showcase how art played an integral role in disseminating stories from scripture during that period. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, let it remind us not only of historical events but also of our shared human experiences across time. May it inspire contemplation about faith, resilience in times of adversity, and our ability to find hope even amidst plagues that may afflict our own lives.
