EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shaphan reading the Book of the Law before King Josiah" transports us back to ancient times. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a significant moment from biblical history. Intriguingly, we witness Shaphan, a scribe and trusted advisor to King Josiah, engrossed in reading the sacred Book of the Law. The scene unfolds within the grandeur of King Josiah's court as he attentively listens to every word being read aloud. This powerful image symbolizes their deep reverence for divine wisdom and their commitment to upholding God's commandments. The illustration originated from Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition, published around 1880. It serves as a visual representation of one of many stories found within the Old Testament – specifically in the book of Chronicles. These tales are not only religious but also provide valuable insights into human nature and moral teachings that resonate across generations. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how literature can transcend time and connect us with ancient traditions and beliefs. Whether it be through psalms or old testament stories like this one, these texts continue to shape our understanding of faith and spirituality today. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have access to this remarkable piece that allows us to delve deeper into biblical narratives while appreciating its artistic beauty.
