EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Henry Fuseli, titled "The Magician Balaam" transports us to the biblical story of a man torn between his desire for power and his duty to God. The scene depicts Balaam, an infamous magician and diviner from the Book of Numbers, in a moment of profound conflict. Dressed in elaborate fashions that reflect the era's clothing styles, Balaam stands tall with outstretched arms as he blesses the very people he had intended to curse - the children of Israel. His weapon lies at his side, symbolizing both his defensive armament and his internal struggle against temptation. Fuseli's intricate attention to detail brings this ancient tale to life. Every line etched into the print showcases not only artistic mastery but also deep understanding of Hebrew Bible narratives. Through this work, we witness Balaam's transformation from a manipulative sorcerer into a vessel for divine providence. Engraved by John Barlow and published in Johann Kaspar Lavater's Essays on Physiognomy, this print captures the essence of divination and its consequences within religious texts. It serves as a reminder that even those who possess great powers must confront their own moral dilemmas. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that art has the ability to transport us through time and space while illuminating timeless truths about human nature.
