EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant biblical moment from the Old Testament - Moses striking the rock in the wilderness and producing water. Created in 1557 by Conrad Lycosthenes, this woodcut image is taken from his renowned work "Prodigiorum ac ostentorum chronicon". In this powerful scene, we witness Moses, a revered Hebrew prophet and leader of the Israelites, standing before a large rock with his staff raised high. The people surrounding him appear thirsty and desperate for relief. With divine intervention, Moses strikes the rock, causing water to gush forth miraculously quenching their thirst. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this sixteenth-century artwork. It emphasizes the religious significance of this event across Christianity and Judaism alike. As viewers engage with this print, they are transported back to that arid wilderness where faith was tested but ultimately rewarded. Lycosthenes' portrayal skillfully conveys both the physical struggle faced by these ancient people as well as their unwavering belief in God's providence through miracles. This woodcut serves as a reminder of humanity's reliance on higher powers during times of hardship. Whether one approaches it from a religious or artistic perspective, this print leaves an indelible impression on its audience. It stands as a testament to faith, resilience, and divine intervention throughout history – themes that continue to resonate today.
