EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and significant artifact from the 16th century - the first edition of Revelation 20:18 Key of the bottomless pit, taken from the Luther Bible. The image features a beautifully colored woodcut created by an anonymous German artist during this period. The artwork depicts a scene filled with symbolic elements that evoke both awe and intrigue. In the foreground, we see St. Michael, one of Christianity's most revered archangels, engaged in an intense battle against a fearsome devilish creature emerging from the depths of hell. This dramatic confrontation between good and evil is inspired by passages found in the Book of Revelation. The intricate details within this woodcut emphasize its historical significance as well as its artistic merit. Every stroke brings to life not only St. Michael's valiant struggle but also highlights other mythical creatures lurking in the background, adding an air of mystery to this biblical narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it transports us back to a time when religious texts were meticulously crafted by hand and cherished for their spiritual teachings. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these ancient stories continue to captivate our imagination and provoke contemplation about humanity's eternal struggle between darkness and light.
