EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "SABBATH PREPARATIONS, 1663" offers a glimpse into the daily life of a 17th century Dutch household. The scene depicts an intimate moment in which the ritual of lighting Sabbath candles takes place. In this domestic setting, we witness women donning aprons and diligently preparing for the sacred day. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element within the image tells its own story. A candelabra stands tall on the table, casting a warm glow upon the room while candlesticks patiently await their turn to be lit. The dining room exudes an air of tranquility and reverence as preparations are made for this important religious observance. Judaism plays a central role in this portrayal, highlighting the cultural diversity that existed during this period. This woodcut comes from Leusdens Philologus Hebraeo-mixtus, published in Utrecht in 1663 by Johan Leusden. It beautifully captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of devotion and tradition. As we gaze at this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when housework was intertwined with spirituality and rituals were meticulously followed. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors found solace and meaning through these practices. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and gain insight into everyday life centuries ago - where faith met routine amidst flickering candlelight.
