EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of Balaam's donkey from Hartmann Schedel's renowned Nuremberg Chronicle, published in 1497. The artwork, created by the talented artist Giancarlo Costa, beautifully captures a pivotal moment from biblical history. In this scene, we witness an angel standing before Balaam and his faithful donkey. The donkey appears to be speaking to its master, conveying a divine message that only it can hear. This miraculous event is derived from the Book of Numbers in the Bible when God used the donkey to prevent Balaam from making a disastrous decision. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of Costa's engraving bring this ancient tale to life. Every line and contour expertly conveys emotion and significance within this religious narrative. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of God's extraordinary interventions. Schedel's Nuremberg Chronicle was highly regarded for its comprehensive account of world history up until that point. It served as both an educational tool and a work of art during the Renaissance period. This remarkable print not only celebrates artistic excellence but also invites contemplation on themes such as faith, obedience, and divine intervention. Whether displayed in private collections or public spaces, it serves as a powerful reminder of our rich cultural heritage intertwined with religious beliefs.
