EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Prophet Urijah having been slain, his Body is cast into the Common Grave, Jeremiah XXVI, 23" transports us to a dramatic scene from biblical times. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from the Book of Jeremiah. In this haunting image, we witness the aftermath of a brutal act committed against the prophet Urijah. His lifeless body lies on the ground as it is unceremoniously thrown into a common grave. The somber atmosphere and attention to detail evoke a sense of sorrow and injustice. This engraving was originally featured in Cassells Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition published around 1880. It serves as an illustration for one of the stories found within its pages – specifically Jeremiah XXVI:23. This passage recounts the tragic fate that befell Urijah for delivering God's message faithfully. As we contemplate this artwork, we are reminded of both the power and dangers faced by those who speak truth to power throughout history. The story of Urijah resonates with themes found throughout religious texts such as sacrifice, persecution, and unwavering faith. Through this thought-provoking image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are invited to reflect on our own convictions and consider how far we would go to stand up for what we believe in - even if it means facing dire consequences like Urijah did so long ago.
