EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece of Deuteronomy, a significant book in the Bible. Created by an anonymous German artist during the 15th century, this coloured woodcut depicts a powerful scene where God himself is seen dictating the laws to be written down by the Israelites. The image captures a moment of divine revelation and emphasizes the importance of faith and obedience in Christianity. The solemn atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of a lectern, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, upon which rests an open book awaiting transcription. The Nuremberg Bible (Biblia Sacra Germanaica) from which this illustration originates holds great historical significance as one of the earliest printed editions in Germany. Its inclusion in private collections further highlights its rarity and value. Through this artwork, we are reminded of our responsibility to uphold God's laws and teachings. It serves as a visual representation of religious devotion and encourages contemplation on moral values that guide believers' lives. The fine craftsmanship evident in this woodcut adds depth to its spiritual message while showcasing artistic talent prevalent during that era. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both its historical context and aesthetic beauty, making it an ideal addition for art enthusiasts seeking meaningful pieces with religious undertones.
