EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection depicts a pivotal moment in the history of Esther. The title, "Ahasuerus gives his ring to Haman" hints at the dramatic turn of events about to unfold. In this scene, King Ahasuerus bestows his signet ring upon Haman, granting him the power to carry out his sinister plan - the extermination of all Jews. The gravity of this decision is palpable as grief-stricken Jews can be seen in the background, their heads covered in ashes. Meanwhile, Queen Esther stands on the right side of the image, her room serving as a sanctuary where she strategizes her next move. She instructs a servant to bring clothes for Mordecai so that he may shed his mourning garment. Intriguingly, Ester is also shown praying fervently for a favorable outcome further into the background. The Latin reference below mentions Est. 3 from the Bible text which likely relates to this particular scene. Created by Hans Collaert (I) and attributed to Antwerp in 1579, this engraving captures both emotional turmoil and moments of resilience amidst adversity. It forms part of an album that explores various episodes from Esther's story. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an intense chapter within biblical history while showcasing artistic excellence through its intricate details and composition.
