EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plague in Egypt" captures a haunting scene from ancient times. Created by J. West in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this image depicts a biblical event that left an indelible mark on history. The composition transports us back to the time when Egypt was ravaged by a devastating plague. As described in the Bible, there was no household untouched by death, leading to widespread despair and anguish. The artist's attention to detail is evident as we witness the aftermath of this calamity – lifeless bodies strewn across the landscape, symbolizing the magnitude of loss experienced by the Egyptian people. The use of torches illuminates this somber tableau, casting eerie shadows that heighten our sense of unease. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness and despair, there is always light to guide us through troubled times. "Plague in Egypt" invites us to reflect upon themes such as mortality and faith while immersing ourselves in ancient history. This powerful image resonates with viewers today just as it did centuries ago when James Hagger first depicted it around 1860. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and acquire prints like these for personal enjoyment or educational purposes.
