EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vividly colored woodcut from the Nuremberg Bible, depicting Exodus 8:20-32 - The Seven Plagues of Egypt: Moses and the swarm of flies. Created by an anonymous German artist in the 15th century, this artwork is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The image portrays a scene filled with chaos and despair as swarms of flies descend upon Egypt, one of the plagues unleashed by Moses to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring life to this biblical narrative, capturing both the terror and awe-inspiring power behind these divine interventions. Intriguingly, this woodcut also highlights another plague mentioned in Exodus - the death of livestock. It serves as a reminder that God's wrath was not limited to humans but extended even to animals during these extraordinary events. Through its visual storytelling, this artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as pestilence, mortality, and divine retribution. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand the dramatic confrontation between Moses and Pharaoh amidst an unfolding catastrophe. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical masterpiece through their fine art finder platform for all art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its significance.
