1690 Biblical Burning Canaan Destroyed Destruction Flames Joshua Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century print depicts the biblical tale of the destruction of the Canaanite city of Ai (or Hai) as recounted in the Book of Joshua from the Old Testament. The image captures the moment of utter devastation as flames engulf the city, signifying the complete conquest of the land by the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua. The Old Testament narrative relates that the city was taken by treachery, with the Israelites falling into a trap set by the Canaanites, leading to a partial defeat. However, in this print, the full fury of the Israelites' retaliation is on display, as they bring the city to ashes. The use of dramatic lighting and the chaotic swirl of flames and smoke adds to the sense of destruction and chaos. The print is a powerful visual representation of the biblical narrative, providing a glimpse into the past and the tumultuous history of the ancient world.
