EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10: The Fall of Jericho, from The Battles of the Old Testament, captures a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta during the late 16th to early 17th century, this black and white etching depicts the dramatic scene with remarkable detail. In this powerful image, we witness the ancient city of Jericho under siege. A group of Israelite soldiers on horseback charge towards its fortified walls, determined to conquer their enemies. Horses gallop fiercely as riders brandish their weapons with unwavering resolve. This intense battle between two nations is brought to life through Tempesta's masterful strokes. The print showcases not only the physicality of war but also explores religious themes and historical context. It serves as a visual representation of an important event from the Old Testament – a testament to Christianity's heritage and significance. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Nicolaus van Aelst's skillful collaboration with Tempesta in bringing these biblical narratives to life through art. Its presence within such esteemed cultural institutions allows visitors to delve into centuries-old stories that continue to shape our understanding of faith and history. As viewers contemplate Plate 10: The Fall of Jericho, they are transported back in time - witnessing bravery amidst chaos while pondering timeless questions about human nature and divine intervention.
