EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century depicts the dramatic scene of Zimri capturing the city of Tirzah and setting its palace ablaze. The print, part of an unidentified series of Bible prints, showcases a pivotal moment from the Old Testament's Book of Kings. In this intense battle scene, we witness an army led by Zimri engaging in a fierce confrontation with the troops defending Tirzah. The clash between these armed forces is depicted with great detail and precision, highlighting the chaos and violence that ensues during warfare. The destructive nature of this conflict is emphasized by the raging flames engulfing Tirzah's palace. Fire serves as a symbol for destruction and demolition, adding to the overall sense of turmoil portrayed in this artwork. The artist skillfully captures both religious and historical elements within this engraving. The Hebrew inscription accompanying the image further emphasizes its connection to Judaism and Jewish religion. This print serves as a visual representation of biblical events while also showcasing artistic techniques prevalent during that period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection. As viewers engage with this engraving, they are transported back to a time when battles were fought not only on physical grounds but also within religious contexts - reminding us of humanity's complex history intertwined with faith and conflict.
