EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from Gustave Dore's illustrated "Bible" in 1866, depicting the legendary Judas Maccabaeus leading his army into battle. As the commander of the Jews in 166 BC, Judas (Jehudah) Maccabaeus stands tall on his horse, exuding authority and determination. The wood engraving beautifully captures this pivotal moment in history, where religion and war intertwine. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate the majestic rock formations and river that serve as a backdrop to this scene. With no people present, our attention is solely focused on Judas Maccabaeus and his powerful steed riding towards their destiny. This illustration symbolizes more than just a military campaign; it represents unity and teamwork among believers. Through cooperation and togetherness, they face adversity with unwavering faith. It also alludes to miracles described in the New Testament as they embark on this perilous journey. Gustave Dore's meticulous craftsmanship brings forth every detail of this historic event – from the animal themes captured within nature to human representations filled with male likeness. This image serves as a reminder of religious devotion intertwined with historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable wood engraving, we are transported back in time to witness one man's leadership during a tumultuous era. It ignites curiosity about ancient civilizations while reminding us of the power of faith and resilience even amidst chaos.
