EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "Moses and the Burning Bush" by German artist Joseph Wagner, dates back to approximately 1745. The print depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament of the Bible, where Moses encounters the burning bush while tending to his flock in the land of Midian. The scene is richly detailed, with Moses standing in awe before the bush, which burns fiercely yet remains unconsumed. An angel in the form of a man, believed to be the Archangel Michael, hovers above the bush, ready to deliver God's message to Moses. The figures are intricately etched and engraved on laid paper, with delicate lettering that adds to the biblical narrative. The black and white contrast enhances the dramatic effect of the image, transporting us back to a time when such illustrations served as a means to share the stories of the Hebrew Bible with the masses. This historic work of art is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the cultural heritage it represents. Today, it can be found on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., inviting visitors to contemplate the rich history and significance of this biblical scene.
