EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of the First-Born of Egypt" a remarkable artwork created by Pietro Paoletti in 1838-1839. The painting, found in the esteemed collection of Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, vividly depicts a pivotal event from the Old Testament - one of the ten plagues that befell ancient Egypt. Paoletti's mastery is evident as he skillfully captures the intensity and anguish surrounding this biblical catastrophe. The oil on canvas technique brings to life an atmosphere charged with despair and grief. The artist's attention to detail is striking, particularly in his portrayal of each character's facial expressions and body language, conveying their profound sorrow and disbelief. "The Death of the First-Born of Egypt" serves as a poignant reminder of divine retribution against Pharaoh for refusing to release Moses' people from slavery. As described in Exodus 12:29-30, God struck down every first-born son throughout Egypt that fateful night while sparing Israelite households marked with lamb's blood on their doorposts. This print not only preserves Paoletti's exceptional artistic talent but also invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as faith, justice, and redemption present within biblical narratives. It stands as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue inspiring contemplation centuries after its creation.
