EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Pestilence, one of the Seven Plagues of Egypt" transports us back to ancient times. Created in 1866 by the talented artist Gustave Dore, this wood engraving vividly depicts a scene from the Bible's book of Exodus. In this haunting image, we witness the devastating consequences of pestilence as it ravages Egypt. The artist skillfully captures the despair and anguish on people's faces as they succumb to illness and death. Camels stand nearby, their once majestic presence now overshadowed by disease. Dore's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched into the woodblock tells a story. This print serves as a powerful reminder of both human vulnerability and divine punishment. It reflects not only religious themes but also explores broader concepts such as health, suffering, and mortality. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported to an era long gone yet still relevant today. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the composition while emphasizing its timeless quality. "Pestilence" stands as a testament to Gustave Dore's artistic genius and his ability to bring biblical narratives to life through his engravings. It serves as a poignant reminder that history has witnessed countless plagues throughout different civilizations—a somber reflection on our shared human experience across time and space.
