EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts the biblical scene of David taking the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The artwork, created by an unidentified European School artist, showcases a pivotal moment in religious history. According to the Old Testament account in 2 Samuel 6, as David and his followers transport the sacred Ark on a cart, tragedy strikes when Uzzah touches it and is immediately struck dead as punishment. This print captures this dramatic event with great detail and emotion. Part of an enigmatic series of Bible prints published by Pierre Mariette in Paris during that era, this particular engraving offers a glimpse into Christian beliefs and practices at that time. It highlights themes such as corporal punishment, sentence castigation, and religious processions. The intricate inscription accompanying the image adds depth to its meaning. Words from Hebrew scripture are carefully etched onto stone tablets within the artwork itself, emphasizing its biblical significance. Set against a backdrop of ancient Jerusalem's architectural splendor, this print transports viewers back to biblical times. It serves as a reminder of both historical events and enduring faith traditions across various religions. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has preserved this remarkable piece for contemporary audiences to appreciate its artistic beauty while reflecting on centuries-old stories that continue to shape our understanding of spirituality today.
