Exodus - A Heartbreaking Journey of Faith and Desolation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant print titled "Exodus" artist Leo Gestel captures the essence of a biblical tale brought to life. The artwork, created with chalk and pastel on paper, measures 63x75 cm and is part of a private collection. The scene depicted showcases a city in ruins, devastated by war and destruction. As we gaze upon the townscape, our eyes are drawn to a crowd of men, women, and children departing from their once-beloved home. Their faces etched with sadness and emotion tell stories of loss and despair. Amidst the chaos, one can't help but notice a mother clutching her baby tightly as they navigate through the rubble. Horses gallop alongside them while buildings crumble in their wake. This powerful image evokes an overwhelming sense of devastation that resonates deeply within us. Gestel's skillful drawing brings forth not only the physical ruin but also portrays the emotional toll inflicted upon these refugees. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, countless individuals have been forced to leave everything behind due to circumstances beyond their control. This thought-provoking artwork draws inspiration from religious themes found in the Old Testament's story of Exodus—a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. It speaks volumes about faith tested by hardship and offers solace for those who find themselves displaced or seeking refuge. Through his masterful depiction of this exodus journey, Gestel invites us to reflect on
