EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Quint Lox beautifully captures John Martin's iconic painting "Joshua Commanding the Sun to Stand Still upon Gibeon". The original artwork, created by the British artist in 1816, depicts a dramatic biblical scene from the Book of Joshua. The composition showcases Joshua, a revered figure in Jewish history and leader of the Israelites, raising his arms towards the heavens as he commands the sun to halt its movement across the sky. Surrounding him are awe-struck soldiers witnessing this miraculous event unfold. John Martin's masterful use of oil on canvas brings an ethereal quality to this monumental piece. The play of light and shadow creates a sense of grandeur and divine intervention that is both breathtaking and thought-provoking. Quint Lox expertly captures every intricate detail with his camera lens, allowing viewers to appreciate not only Martin's artistic prowess but also Lox's own skill in photography. The colors are rich and vibrant while maintaining a sense of reverence for the original work. This print is truly a testament to both historical artistry and contemporary talent. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with ancient narratives and our enduring connection to spirituality through visual expression.
