EDITORS COMMENTS
Jeremiah Lifted off the Cistern" is a captivating 16th-century hand-colored woodcut print by the renowned German artist Jost Amman. This masterpiece, created around 1597, is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, adding to the rich artistic heritage of America. The print depicts a biblical scene from the Book of Jeremiah (38:28-35), where the prophet is miraculously rescued from a cistern by his friends Baruch and Ebed-melech, after being thrown in by the wicked king Zedekiah's officials. The woodcut's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the story to life, with Jeremiah shown in the center, dressed in a simple robe, being lifted up by his rescuers. The composition is further enhanced by the use of lettering, which adds a narrative element to the image, highlighting the key players and their actions. The text in the print is written in both German and Latin, reflecting the multilingual nature of European art during this period. Jost Amman, a prolific artist from Strasbourg, is known for his detailed and meticulously crafted woodcuts, which often depicted religious and mythological scenes. "Jeremiah Lifted off the Cistern" is a prime example of his skill and artistic vision, making it an invaluable addition to LACMA's collection and a testament to the enduring power of religious art. This woodcut print not only serves as a visual representation of a biblical story but also as a historical artifact, providing insights into the artistic and religious practices of the time. Its presence in the United States, specifically at LACMA, underscores the museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
