EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Death of Absolom" by Siegfried Detler Bendixen depicts a tragic scene from biblical history. The print, part of the Preceptive Illustrations of the Bible series published by Thomas Varty around 1880, captures the consequences of disobedience and rebellion. In this dramatic artwork, we witness Absolom's fateful accident as he meets his untimely demise. The central focus is on a majestic tree that becomes entangled with Absolom's flowing hair while riding his horse. This unfortunate incident symbolizes the perils that await those who defy authority and stray from righteousness. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and turmoil surrounding this event, emphasizing both human tragedy and nature's role in delivering justice. With meticulous attention to detail, Bendixen brings together elements of religion, botany, natural history, and science in this thought-provoking composition. As our eyes explore every corner of the engraving, we encounter various animals - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - representing different aspects of wildlife and livestock. These creatures serve as witnesses to Absolom's downfall while reminding us of life's interconnectedness. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a powerful reminder for viewers to reflect upon their own actions and consider the potential consequences that may arise when one strays from righteousness or challenges divine authority.
