The Children Devoured by Bears: A Graphic Depiction of a Biblical Tale from the 17th Century This haunting image, titled 'The Children Devoured by Bears,' is a powerful reminder of one of the most tragic and well-known stories from the Old Testament of the Bible. Drawn from the Second Book of Kings, chapter 2, this print dates back to the 17th century and is a poignant representation of the consequences of mocking God's prophets. The scene depicts two children, clad in simple clothing, being consumed by a pair of ravenous bears. Their terrified expressions and wide-open eyes convey the shock and fear that must have gripped the onlookers as they witnessed this horrifying event. The bears, with their sharp claws and menacing snarls, embody the raw power and unpredictability of the natural world. The story behind this image unfolds when the prophet Elisha was being mocked by a group of children for his bald head. In retaliation, Elisha cursed them, and two bears appeared and mauled the children to death. This graphic depiction serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of disrespecting God's messengers and the power that lies in the hands of the divine. The intricate details in this print, from the children's clothing to the bears' fur, showcase the skill and artistry of the 17th-century engraver. The use of bold lines and deep shadows adds to the sense of drama and tension, making this print a captivating and thought-provoking piece of historical art.
