EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful scene from ancient times, depicting the "Plague of Boils and Blains" as described in the Old Testament. Moses, the revered leader of the Israelites, is shown being directed to take handfuls of ashes from a furnace and sprinkle them towards heaven. The result is a devastating outbreak of painful boils and blains upon both man and beast. The woodcut image, originating from the Cologne Bible created between 1478-80, beautifully captures the medieval German art style prevalent during that era. Its intricate details evoke a sense of awe and reverence for this biblical event. This portrayal serves as a reminder of God's divine power within Christianity and Judaism. It symbolizes His ability to bring forth punishment upon those who oppose Him or oppress His chosen people. The suffering inflicted by these afflictions represents not only physical pain but also spiritual consequences for those who defy God's will. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to North African lands where Moses confronted Pharaoh demanding freedom for his people. This image immortalizes an essential moment in their journey towards liberation while highlighting the immense faith required to follow their leader through such trials. Let us reflect on this profound depiction, appreciating its artistic beauty while contemplating its deeper meaning – reminding us that even in moments of darkness or despair, there is always hope for redemption and deliverance.
