EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 22: Josaphat Thanking God for His Victory, from The Battles of the Old Testament, ca. 1590-ca. 1610 In this print by Antonio Tempesta, we are transported back to the 16th or 17th century Italy, where a momentous scene unfolds. Plate 22 depicts Josaphat expressing his gratitude to God after achieving victory in battle. The image showcases an array of characters and elements that bring the story to life. A group of soldiers on horseback stand at attention while their leader, Josaphat, raises his trumpet towards the sky as a symbol of triumph. Behind him stands a woman with her hands clasped together in prayerful reverence. The composition is filled with intricate details - from the armor-clad horses to the musical instruments held by some figures - all contributing to a sense of grandeur and celebration. Tempesta's etching technique adds depth and texture to each element within the frame, enhancing our appreciation for this historical moment captured on paper. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative power. It serves as a reminder not only of ancient biblical tales but also of humanity's enduring desire for faith and gratitude in times of triumph. This print is truly a testament to both Tempesta's artistic skill and our collective heritage as followers of Christianity.
