Painting Description
"Exodus 8:1-15: The Seven Plagues of Egypt - Moses and the Plague of Frogs" is an illustration found in the Nuremberg Bible, also known as the Biblia Sacra Germanica, which was published by Anton Koberger in 1483 in Nuremberg, Germany. This Bible is notable for being one of the earliest German language editions of the Bible and is richly adorned with woodcut illustrations that depict various biblical scenes. The illustration in question portrays the second of the ten plagues that God inflicted upon Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament.
In this particular passage, God commands Moses to warn Pharaoh that if he does not let the Israelites go, a plague of frogs will cover his realm. Despite Moses' warnings, Pharaoh refuses, and Egypt is subsequently overrun by frogs as a divine punishment. The artwork captures the moment when the land of Egypt is afflicted by this plague, with frogs swarming over the land, invading homes, and disrupting the lives of the Egyptians.
The Nuremberg Bible's illustrations are significant for their detailed representation of biblical narratives and their influence on the visual culture of the time. They are also an important example of the early use of movable type and woodcut printing technology in Europe, which played a crucial role in the dissemination of religious texts during the late 15th century. The image of Moses and the plague of frogs is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic expression of the period, reflecting the medieval European perspective on biblical events.
The Nuremberg Bible itself is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the religious, cultural, and technological developments of the late medieval period. The inclusion of vernacular language made the Bible more accessible to the lay population, contributing to the spread of biblical knowledge and the eventual growth of the Protestant Reformation. The illustration of Exodus 8:1-15 is just one of many within the Biblia Sacra Germanica that offers a window into the world of 15th-century European biblical interpretation and artistry.
