EDITORS COMMENTS
The Passage of the Red Sea (recto) and The Burial of Jacob (verso) from Neuwe Biblische Figuren, a captivating print that bridges the 16th and 20th centuries. This remarkable piece of art, created by Jost Ammon and Max Geisberg in 1565, has been carefully assembled into a portfolio in 1937. The black and white woodcuts beautifully depict two significant biblical scenes. On one side, we witness the awe-inspiring moment when Moses miraculously parts the Red Sea to allow the Israelites to cross safely while drowning their Egyptian pursuers. The other side portrays the solemn burial of Jacob, an important figure in Jewish history. This antique artwork showcases not only exceptional craftsmanship but also deep religious symbolism. It takes us back to a time when literature was illustrated with intricate drawings like these, bringing biblical stories to life for readers. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery exhibition, this artifact is a testament to our rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with historical events and faith traditions. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to ancient Egypt where miracles unfolded before our eyes. We contemplate themes of liberation, faithfulness, mortality, and divine intervention—a true reflection of humanity's eternal quest for meaning.
