EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hezekiah and the sun-dial" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and religious symbolism. The image depicts a scene from biblical times, illustrating an episode from Hezekiah's life as described in Aunt Friendlys Sunday Keepsake. The engraving showcases the remarkable talent of the English School artist who skillfully brings this biblical story to life. We see Hezekiah, a prominent figure in ancient Israel, standing before a magnificent sundial. His gaze is fixed upon it as he contemplates the significance of time. The composition exudes a sense of awe and reverence through its meticulous rendering of architectural elements surrounding Hezekiah. The attention to detail is evident not only in his regal attire but also in the delicate engravings on the sundial itself. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of the power of faith and how it intertwines with our perception of time. This piece serves as a visual reminder that even great leaders like Hezekiah sought guidance from higher powers when faced with challenges. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional print that transports us back centuries while showcasing their commitment to preserving historical art for generations to come.
