EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Joash Shooting the Arrow of Deliverance" by William Dyce depicts a powerful moment in biblical history. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, measuring 76x109 cm, Dyce skillfully captures the intensity and significance of the scene. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The image portrays Joash, the 12th King of Israel, aiming his bow to shoot an arrow. Imprisoned within a cell with his long beard flowing and arm band revealing strength, Joash seeks redemption from his captivity. The painting alludes to a prophecy given by Elisha, where he instructs Joash to strike arrows against Syria as a symbol of victory.

The composition exudes tension and anticipation as viewers witness this pivotal moment unfold. This historical artwork serves as a reminder of faith and hope even in times of imprisonment or adversity. It showcases how one man's actions can bring about deliverance for an entire nation. Dyce's portrayal beautifully captures both physical strength and spiritual fortitude.
