Jephthas Daughter, 1874 - A Haunting Depiction of Sacrifice and Faith
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Chauncey Bradley Ives, we are transported to the biblical tale of Jephthas Daughter. The year is 1874, and Ives masterfully captures the emotional turmoil of a young virgin daughter contemplating her impending death. The scene unfolds in vivid color as we witness the weight of her father's promise to God. Jephthas only child stands draped in flowing fabric, symbolizing both purity and vulnerability. Her face reflects a mix of resignation and fear as she grapples with her fate. Ives' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture. The marble medium adds an ethereal quality to the piece, enhancing its timeless appeal. Our eyes are drawn not only to the young woman herself but also to the musical instrument she holds – a tambourine that serves as a poignant reminder of life's fleeting moments. This artwork resonates deeply with viewers across time and space due to its exploration of universal themes such as sacrifice, faith, and human nature. It invites us into a world where religious devotion clashes with personal tragedy. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, "Jephthas Daughter" continues to captivate audiences with its powerful narrative and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament not only to Chauncey Bradley Ives' talent but also his ability to evoke profound emotions through his sculptures. As we gaze upon
