EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Jonah thrown into the sea" takes us back to the late 19th century and immerses us in a biblical tale of epic proportions. Illustrated for a catechism called L Histoire Sainte, published by Charles Delagrave in Paris, this color lithograph showcases the dramatic moment when Jonah is cast overboard to calm a raging tempest. The image transports us onto a storm-tossed sea, where an ancient ship battles towering waves. In the foreground stands Jonah himself, depicted as a male figure with his hands bound and eyes wide with fear. As he plunges into the churning waters below, we see him being swallowed whole by an enormous whale or sea monster. This powerful scene captures both the punishment inflicted upon Jonah for defying God's command and his subsequent redemption through divine intervention. It serves as an educational tool for religious instruction, bringing to life one of the most famous stories from the Old Testament. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke: from the billowing sails of the ship to each crashing wave that threatens its very existence. The use of vibrant colors adds intensity and urgency to this pivotal moment in biblical history. "Jonah thrown into the sea" not only appeals to those interested in religious imagery but also captivates anyone drawn to maritime scenes or historical illustrations. Its timeless message continues to resonate today, reminding us of our own journeys through storms and trials – ultimately leading towards salvation and enlightenment.
