EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7: The Egyptians Pursuing the Israelites, from The Battles of the Old Testament, ca. 1590-ca. 1610 In this print by Antonio Tempesta, we witness a pivotal moment in biblical history - the intense pursuit of the Israelites by the Egyptians. With great skill and attention to detail, Tempesta brings this ancient tale to life. The scene unfolds amidst a tumultuous flood as both man and beast struggle against powerful currents. The Egyptian soldiers on horseback charge forward with determination, their spears raised high in anticipation of victory. Meanwhile, the Israelite men desperately try to outrun their pursuers while leading their families through treacherous waters. Tempesta's masterful etching technique beautifully captures every nuance of emotion displayed on each face - fear, determination, and hope all intertwine within this chaotic tableau. Amidst it all stands one man who appears to be playing a musical instrument; perhaps he is invoking divine intervention or offering solace during these trying times. This print not only showcases Tempesta's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring faith and resilience in moments of adversity. It invites us to reflect upon our own battles against seemingly insurmountable odds and find inspiration in the miraculous stories that have shaped our religious heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, let us marvel at its timeless beauty while contemplating the profound messages it conveys about human nature and spirituality throughout centuries past.
