EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Cologne Bible, created between 1478 and 1480, depicts a significant biblical event described in Numbers 16:1-35. The scene showcases the dramatic confrontation between Korah, Dathan, and Abiram against Aaron and Moses, with representatives of the people observing on the left. As tensions rise within the camp of Israelites, God's wrath is unleashed upon these rebels. In a display of divine power and justice, an earthquake engulfs their tents while they remain inside. This catastrophic event serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences that await those who challenge God's authority. The intricate details captured by this late medieval German woodcut artist bring this momentous story to life. Each figure is meticulously portrayed wearing period-appropriate attire; their facial expressions convey fear and awe at witnessing such destruction firsthand. The composition skillfully balances elements of chaos and order through its use of contrasting shapes and textures. The swirling lines representing the earthquake contrast with the straight lines forming Moses' staff held high in his hand—a symbol of his connection to God's power. This woodcut print not only showcases artistic mastery but also serves as a visual representation for believers in Christianity or Judaism to reflect upon themes such as obedience, faithfulness, rebellion, punishment, and divine intervention. It stands as a testament to both historical events recorded in religious texts and humanity's enduring fascination with storytelling through art across centuries.
