EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abraham will be father of many nations, Genesis" by Schnorr von Carolsfeld takes us back to biblical times and the profound moment when Abraham receives a divine prophecy. The image beautifully captures the essence of this significant event from Genesis chapter XV verse 5. In the picture, we see Abraham standing under an open sky, his face filled with awe and wonder as he gazes towards heaven. As instructed in the scripture, he counts the stars above him, symbolizing the countless descendants that will come from him. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, bringing life to this ancient tale. The artwork belongs to a series called "Bibel in Bildern" (Bible in Pictures), created by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld between 1852-60. This collection sought to visually depict various stories from both the Old and New Testaments. Through this powerful illustration, we are reminded of Abraham's pivotal role as not only a patriarch but also a forefather for many nations. It serves as a testament to faith and hope for believers across different religions - Christianity and Judaism alike. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and heritage while appreciating the timeless beauty found within religious art.
