Jonah Vomited by the Great Fish Upon the Shore
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an engraving from the ancient world, believed to date back to the 8th century BC. This image is derived from the biblical narrative found in the Old Testament's Book of Jonah, specifically in Chapter 2. The scene portrays the disobedient prophet Jonah, who, having disregarded God's command to go to the city of Nineveh and warn its inhabitants to repent, was instead swallowed by a great fish. After three days and nights inside the fish's belly, Jonah prayed to the Lord for salvation, and was miraculously spit back out onto dry land. The engraving beautifully captures this pivotal moment in the biblical episode, with Jonah, an old man with a weathered face, standing on the shore, his hands raised in prayer. Behind him, the great fish lies stranded on the sand, its massive form a testament to the divine intervention that saved Jonah's life. An angel, with wings outstretched, hovers above, symbolizing the presence of God and His mercy. This ancient engraving, with its intricate details and masterful execution, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the ancient world and the enduring power of the biblical stories that have shaped human civilization for millennia. The image, a precious relic from antiquity, continues to captivate and inspire audiences with its timeless message of redemption and divine intervention.
