PLAGUE OF FLIES - A Glimpse into Ancient Biblical Times
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Plague of Flies" takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a scene from the ancient world. The woodcut, originating from the Cologne Bible of 1478-80, depicts a significant event described in Exodus 8:20-24. In this biblical tale, God sends a plague of flies upon Egypt as a punishment for Pharaoh's refusal to release the Israelites from slavery. The image showcases an expansive field with sheep grazing peacefully while swarms of flies fill the air above them. Amidst this chaotic scene stands Moses, depicted with a halo symbolizing his divine connection. The woodcut's intricate details and German craftsmanship transport us to North African pastures where this biblical narrative unfolded centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of the power and influence that religious texts like Exodus have had on art throughout history. As we gaze at this medieval masterpiece, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance within Christianity and Judaism. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on how ancient stories continue to shape our understanding and appreciation for cultural heritage today.
