EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and devastation of "F. 61. I The Tenth Plague of Egypt" from the Liber Studiorum collection. Engraved by William Say in 1816, this etching is a masterpiece created after Joseph Mallord William Turner's original artwork. The scene depicted showcases a city engulfed in darkness as a ferocious storm rages overhead. Lightning strikes illuminate the sky, casting an eerie sepia-toned glow on the landscape below. Grief and despair are palpable as sorrowful figures mourn the tragic fate that has befallen them. This haunting image represents one of the most significant events in biblical history - the tenth plague of Egypt. As described in Exodus, it was during this plague that death swept through Egypt, claiming the lives of every firstborn child. Turner's masterful depiction evokes a sense of profound loss and anguish, capturing both the physical destruction caused by nature's fury and the emotional toll it takes on those left behind. Now housed at Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK, this remarkable engraving continues to captivate viewers with its powerful portrayal of human suffering amidst divine retribution. It serves as a poignant reminder of our vulnerability to forces beyond our control and invites contemplation on themes such as mortality and faith. Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this timeless artwork while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
