EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The building of the Tower of Babel (engraving)" by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, depicts a scene inspired by the biblical story found in Genesis. In this engraving, we witness a group of determined labourers working tirelessly to construct the towering structure that would reach the heavens. Their defiance against divine authority is evident as they strive to challenge God's power and establish their own greatness. Symbolizing ambition and arrogance, this iconic tale from the Bible serves as a reminder of humanity's hubris throughout history. It explores themes such as religion, construction, and human nature. "The building of the Tower of Babel" holds significance not only within Christianity but also in Judaism and other religious traditions that draw upon Old Testament stories. Its inclusion in "The Prize Bible" published by Wells Gardner, Darton & Co around 1890, further emphasizes its importance in Christian literature. Through this digitally cleaned image provided by Look and Learn via Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, viewers can delve into ancient narratives while contemplating timeless questions about faith and human aspirations.
