EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "JEPHTHAH & ABILMELECH" showcases a significant moment in biblical history. On the left side, we witness Jephthah, a devout father and judge of Israel, making an agonizing sacrifice as he fulfills his vow to God. The scene depicts the heart-wrenching moment when Jephthah sacrifices his own daughter according to Judges xi: 39-40. On the right side of the print, we are transported to another tale from the Book of Judges. Abilmelech, dressed in vibrant orange attire, stands alongside four companions clad in chainmail armor. They are shown engaged in a brutal act - slaying Abilmelech's brothers as part of his quest for power and control over Israel (Judges ix: 3-6). This French manuscript illumination from c1250 is a testament to medieval artistry and religious devotion. The intricate handwriting and Hebrew script add depth and authenticity to this historical depiction. The juxtaposition between these two stories highlights themes such as faithfulness, sacrifice, power struggles, and familial bonds within Christianity and Judaism. It serves as a reminder that even within religious narratives there can be moments of darkness where difficult choices must be made. Granger Art on Demand presents this thought-provoking image captured by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection for all those who appreciate art that sparks contemplation about our shared human experiences throughout history.
