EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a chilling scene from the 15th century - "A Stoning". Created by an unknown artist, this medieval artwork depicts a biblical event that showcases the harsh realities of punishment during that era. In vivid colors and intricate detail, we witness a man being mercilessly stoned to death by his fellow men. The use of pen and ink with watercolor brings life to this haunting image, evoking strong emotions as we contemplate the brutality of human nature. The fragment from Bible MS German text on the verso adds another layer of historical significance to this artwork. It reminds us that religion played a central role in shaping societal norms and dictating punishments for transgressions. Located in Austria, this piece is part of our rich heritage art collection. Its portrayal of violence serves as a reminder of how far society has come in terms of justice and compassion over centuries. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print, let us reflect on the power dynamics at play during medieval times and appreciate our modern world's progress towards more humane forms of punishment.
