EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Plague of Darkness" takes us back to ancient Egypt, as depicted by the English School in the 19th century. The print showcases a scene from The Children's Pictorial Bible, published by Ward Lock around 1860. In this digitally cleaned image, we witness the biblical plague that engulfed Egypt with an impenetrable darkness. The eerie atmosphere is palpable as fear and anguish grip both man and beast alike. A pyramid looms in the background, serving as a haunting reminder of Egypt's rich history. The temple at the forefront stands as a symbol of hope amidst this overwhelming darkness. It becomes evident that even within such despair, faith remains steadfast. This engraving captures not only the physical torment but also portrays the inner turmoil experienced during these biblical times. With meticulous detail and skillful execution, Bridgeman Images presents us with an artwork that evokes deep emotions - anxiety and angst are etched on every face present in this scene. Through its powerful imagery, it reminds us of humanity's vulnerability when faced with forces beyond our control. "The Plague of Darkness" serves as a testament to how art can transport us through time and space while offering profound insights into historical events recorded in sacred texts like the Bible.
