Painting Description
"The Battle of Gibeon and the Sun and Moon Standing Still at the Request of Joshua" is a notable illustration from "Le tresor, ou recipient de la vraie richesse du salut de la beatitude eternelle," a seminal work published in 1491 by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg. This illustration, created by Michael Wolgemut, a prominent German painter and printmaker, vividly depicts the biblical story from the Book of Joshua, where Joshua asks God to stop the sun and moon to allow the Israelites more time to defeat their enemies. Wolgemut's work is characterized by its detailed representation and dynamic composition, reflecting the artistic and cultural milieu of late 15th-century Europe.
This illustration is part of a larger collection within "Le tresor," which serves as a compendium of biblical and theological knowledge aimed at elucidating the path to salvation and eternal bliss. The publication of this work coincides with the early years of the printing revolution in Europe, a period marked by significant advancements in printing technology that facilitated the dissemination of knowledge. Koberger, one of the most successful publishers of his time, collaborated with Wolgemut, who is also known for being Albrecht Dürer's teacher, to produce a work that combines intricate woodcut illustrations with comprehensive theological texts.
The depiction of the battle of Gibeon and the miraculous celestial event is not only a testament to the artists' skill and the technological capabilities of the time but also serves as a visual interpretation of faith and divine intervention. This work remains an important artifact for scholars studying the intersection of art, religion, and early printing technology, offering insights into the ways in which biblical stories were visualized and interpreted during the Renaissance period.
