EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "La fille de Jephte" is a stunning piece of artwork that transports us back to biblical times. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. The scene depicted here comes from the story of Jephte, found in the Hebrew Bible. Jephte was a judge and leader of Israel who made a tragic vow to sacrifice whatever came out of his house if he emerged victorious from battle. Tragically, it was his beloved daughter who greeted him upon his return. In this engraving, we see an emotional and poignant portrayal of this heart-wrenching event. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish on both Jephte's face and that of his daughter as they come to terms with their fate. This image originally appeared as an illustration for "La Bible Populaire" in 1864, published by Hachette. It has been digitally cleaned to enhance its clarity while preserving its historical significance. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded not only of the power and complexity of biblical stories but also how art can bring these narratives to life. This particular engraving serves as a testament to both faith and artistic mastery – capturing a timeless tale that continues to resonate with audiences today.
