EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece painting "Jeroboam Sacrificing to Idols" by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, housed in the esteemed collection of Ecole nationale superieure des beaux-arts in Paris. The artwork takes us back to biblical times, specifically the Old Testament era, where we witness an intriguing scene from Jewish history. The artist skillfully captures Jeroboam, a significant figure in Judaism, as he engages in idolatry by sacrificing to golden idols. This act alludes to the infamous story of the adoration of the golden calf mentioned in religious texts. Fragonard's rococo style and expert use of oil on canvas bring this momentous event to life with vivid colors and intricate details. Through this image, we are transported into a world filled with both awe and contemplation. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal struggle between faith and materialism, symbolized by Mammon or Mamona - personifications of wealth and worldly possessions. The pursuit of mammon is depicted here as a temptation that can lead people astray from their spiritual beliefs. As we gaze upon this fine art piece, it invites us to reflect on our own lives and choices. It offers insight into Jewish life during ancient times while also provoking thoughts about idolatry prevalent even today. This photograph print preserves not only Fragonard's artistic brilliance but also an important chapter from religious history for generations to come.
