EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "EXODUS: PASSOVER. The Passover and the Slaying of the Firstborn" takes us back to ancient times, specifically to a French manuscript dating back to 1250. The image beautifully captures a significant event from both Christianity and Judaism - the biblical story of Exodus. In this scene, we witness an intense moment as the Angel of Death hovers over Egypt during the tenth plague. With meticulous handwriting and stunning medieval illumination techniques, the North African influence is evident in this artwork. The composition showcases a powerful contrast between light and dark, symbolizing hope amidst despair. The artist skillfully portrays the divine intervention that spared Jewish households marked with lamb's blood on their doorposts while claiming the lives of every Egyptian firstborn. As we delve into history through this image, it serves as a reminder of faith, resilience, and liberation for those who celebrate Passover or reflect upon Christian teachings. It invites us to contemplate themes such as sacrifice, redemption, and freedom from oppression. This print not only preserves an important piece of religious art but also allows us to appreciate its intricate details up close. Whether displayed in homes or educational settings, it sparks curiosity about our shared cultural heritage while honoring centuries-old craftsmanship.
