EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Cham cursed by God" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing a powerful biblical scene. The image captures a moment from "The History of the Old and New Testament" translated from De Royaumont in its second edition in 1701. In this intricate artwork, we witness Cham's unfortunate encounter with divine wrath. As described in the Hebrew Bible, Cham was one of Noah's sons who witnessed his father's drunkenness and exposed it to his brothers. This act led to him being cursed by God. The artist skillfully depicts the intensity of this moment through striking details and expressive figures. The viewer can almost feel the weight of God's judgment as Cham kneels before Him, seemingly overwhelmed by guilt and fear. The engraving beautifully conveys both the power and mercy of a higher force. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's complex relationship with divinity throughout history. It invites contemplation on themes such as redemption, forgiveness, and consequences for our actions. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece offers an opportunity for art enthusiasts and religious scholars alike to delve into biblical narratives while appreciating the artistic mastery behind it. Its presence is undoubtedly thought-provoking, leaving viewers captivated by its timeless message across generations.
