EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing fragment of textile depicting the biblical tale of Jonah and the Whale. Created by Coptic artisans in the 5th century, this intricate piece is made from a combination of linen and wool, highlighting the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. The detail captured in this image transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at the delicate tapestry that tells Jonah's story. The length of this fragment measures an impressive 210 cm, emphasizing its significance as a substantial part of history. Housed within the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this artwork stands as a testament to ancient Egyptian artistry. The artist behind this photograph is Peter Willi, who has expertly captured every nuance and texture present in the original fabric. Intriguingly detailed depictions of both Jonah and his aquatic captor are visible on this textile fragment. This portrayal brings to life one of Christianity's most famous narratives - Jonah being swallowed by a whale after attempting to escape his divine mission. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we cannot help but be drawn into the rich symbolism it represents - themes such as faith, redemption, and man's struggle against nature itself. It serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity or our own attempts at escape; there is always hope for salvation.
