EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Building the city and Tower Of Babel" takes us back in time to a significant biblical event. Created by the talented artist Bendixen, Siegfried Detler (1786-1864), this print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing intricate details. The image portrays the ambitious construction project of the legendary Tower of Babel as described in the Bible. The viewer is transported to a bustling scene where workers diligently labor on various levels of scaffolding, each contributing their part to this grand architectural endeavor. The tower's immense size dominates the composition, reaching towards the heavens with its awe-inspiring height. Published by Thomas Varty around 1880 as part of his Preceptive Illustrations of the Bible series, this artwork serves as a visual representation of an ancient tale that has captivated believers for centuries. It invites contemplation on themes such as human ambition and divine intervention. The vibrant colours used in this engraving bring life to every element within it – from meticulously drawn figures engaged in construction work to carefully planned architectural designs. This print not only appeals aesthetically but also sparks curiosity about historical constructions and religious narratives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring quest for greatness and our collective desire to build lasting legacies.
