EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Exodus. In Exodus 8:1-15, Moses confronts Pharaoh and unleashes one of the infamous plagues upon Egypt - an invasion of frogs. The image showcases a coloured woodcut reproduction by Henry Room, depicting this particular plague with remarkable detail. The scene unfolds within an opulent interior setting, likely representing an Egyptian dining hall. A grand table is adorned with sumptuous food, suggesting a lavish meal in progress. However, chaos ensues as countless frogs cover every available surface - the floor, chairs, and even atop plates filled with delicacies. The artist's skillful use of color brings vibrancy to this dramatic moment. The green hues of the amphibians contrast sharply against the richly decorated surroundings and add intensity to their presence. One can almost hear the cacophony created by these unexpected guests as they disrupt what was meant to be a tranquil gathering. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of this biblical event but also invites contemplation on themes such as divine intervention and power struggles between rulers. It reminds viewers that even seemingly invincible forces can be humbled in the face of higher powers. Displayed here as part of The Stapleton Collection in a private collection, this print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing both artistic talent and storytelling prowess through its intricate details and vivid colors.
