EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CORN IN EGYPT" takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, specifically referencing a biblical passage from Genesis 42:6-20. The French manuscript illumination, dating back to c1250, beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. In the image, we see an exquisite depiction of corn in Egypt, symbolizing abundance and prosperity during a time of famine. This visual representation transports us to a period where agriculture played a vital role in sustaining civilizations. The intricate handwriting surrounding the illustration adds an authentic touch to this medieval artwork. It reminds us that every stroke was carefully crafted by skilled hands centuries ago. Furthermore, this piece holds significant religious connotations as it references Joseph's story from Judaism and Christianity. Joseph's wisdom and foresight allowed him to store grain during years of plenty so that he could provide for his family and others during times of scarcity. Beyond its historical and religious significance, this photograph also sheds light on North African culture during the Middle Ages. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent prevalent in that region at the time. Overall, "CORN IN EGYPT" is not just an ordinary photo print; it encapsulates history, spirituality, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage within its frame. It invites viewers into a world long gone but forever preserved through artistry like this remarkable French manuscript illumination from 1250.
