EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the construction of the Tower of Babel under the watchful eye of King Nimrod and his entourage. The scene is bustling with activity, as workmen toil away in the foreground, their heels digging into the ground while camels and horses transport materials. Intriguingly, ships can be seen off the coast in the background, adding an element of maritime significance to this monumental undertaking. It is unclear whether Nimrod himself is present at this very moment, supervising or assisting in the construction process. The artist behind this masterpiece remains anonymous but it is believed to have originated from Bruges around 1490. Painted using oil paint on a drager support, every brushstroke brings life to this historical narrative. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness humanity's audacious ambition and determination manifested through architectural marvels like the Tower of Babel. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, mankind possessed an insatiable thirst for greatness and progress
