EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the emotional moment of Jephthah, a biblical judge, being greeted by his daughter at Mizpath. Painted by the talented Flemish artist Erasmus Quellinus in the 17th century, this masterpiece is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts Jephthah's return from battle, where he had made a solemn vow to God that if he emerged victorious, he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house upon his arrival. Tragically, it was his beloved daughter who joyfully ran out to greet him. The painting beautifully portrays their tender reunion amidst dappled sunlight and majestic horses. This artwork not only showcases Quellinus' exceptional skill in capturing human emotions but also serves as a powerful reminder of faith and sacrifice within Christianity. It brings to life an episode from the Old Testament that has been passed down through generations. The presence of horses adds an element of strength and nobility to the composition while symbolizing power and freedom. Their inclusion emphasizes Jephthah's role as both a military leader and religious figure. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting, we are transported back in time to witness this poignant encounter between father and daughter. It serves as a testament to the enduring significance of religion and its impact on our lives today.
