EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the ancient biblical story of the Plague of Boils and Blains. In this dramatic woodcut from the Cologne Bible dating back to the 15th century, Moses is seen being directed by God to take handfuls of ashes from a furnace and sprinkle them towards heaven. The result? A devastating outbreak of painful boils and blains upon both man and beast. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the divine power showcased in Exodus 9:8-12, where God unleashed these afflictions upon Egypt as punishment for their refusal to release the Israelites from slavery. This event holds great significance in Christianity, Judaism, and other Abrahamic religions. The intricate details within this medieval artwork showcase its German origins while also highlighting North African influences. It beautifully combines elements such as Hebrew script, religious symbolism, and scenes depicting suffering victims amidst an atmosphere charged with supernatural energy. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to witness one of the many miracles performed by Moses under divine guidance. It serves as a testament to faith's ability to shape history and reminds us that even in times of turmoil or illness, there is always hope for redemption through spiritual strength.
