EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Feast of Bacchus in Jerusalem (2 Maccabees 6,7), published 1886" takes us back to a significant historical event. The image, captured through a wood engraving and published in 1886 by ZU_09, transports us to ancient Jerusalem during the reign of kings. In this scene, we witness a somber yet compelling sight as individuals are led under bitter constraint to partake in sacrifices on the king's birthday. However, it is during the feast of Bacchus that their true plight becomes apparent - they are compelled to wander about adorned with ivy crowns as an act of reverence towards Bacchus. The composition exudes both tension and resignation as these individuals navigate their forced participation in religious rituals against their will. The intricate details within the wood engraving bring forth a sense of authenticity and allow us to immerse ourselves into this historic moment. Through this powerful visual representation, we gain insight into the struggles faced by those who were coerced into abandoning their own beliefs for political or societal reasons. It serves as a reminder of the complex dynamics between religion and power throughout history. ZU_09's masterful execution captures not only the physicality but also the emotional weight carried by these individuals during such challenging times. This print stands as an important testament to human resilience and serves as a thought-provoking piece that invites contemplation on themes of freedom, faith, and cultural assimilation
