EDITORS COMMENTS
In this painting, "Athaliah chased from the Temple" created by Antoine Coypel in 1710, we witness a dramatic biblical scene come to life. The artwork depicts the intense moment when Athaliah, a wicked queen of Judah, is forcefully expelled from the sacred temple. Coypel's masterful brushstrokes bring forth an atmosphere charged with tension and religious fervor. The composition centers around Athaliah as she desperately clings to her throne while being confronted by Joash, the rightful heir to the kingdom. Surrounding them are priests and other figures who bear witness to this pivotal event. The artist skillfully captures the emotions of each character; fear and defiance etch themselves onto Athaliah's face as she realizes her reign is coming to an end. In contrast, Joash embodies determination and righteousness as he stands tall against his oppressor. This painting not only showcases Coypel's technical prowess but also serves as a visual representation of themes found within Christianity and Old Testament narratives. It reminds us of the power struggles that have shaped history while highlighting faithfulness and divine intervention. Displayed at Musee Antoine Lecuyer in Saint-Quentin, France, this print from Bridgeman Images allows viewers worldwide to appreciate Coypel's artistic brilliance firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in religious history—a testament to both human resilience and spiritual triumph over evil forces.
