EDITORS COMMENTS
Jan Symonsz. Pynas's masterpiece, "Aaron Changing the Water of the River into Blood," dates back to the 17th century and is a captivating depiction of a biblical scene from the Old Testament. This Dutch painting, now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, portrays the story of Aaron, a Hebrew prophet, performing God's command to turn the waters of the Nile River into blood as part of the plagues of Egypt. The painting showcases an intriguing interplay of figures and geographical features. At the center stands Aaron, clad in a royal robe, with a staff in hand, pouring water from a jug into the river. The river, once clear and serene, is now transformed into a chaotic, swirling mass of crimson hue. The Pharaoh and his courtiers, clad in Italianate attire, are depicted in shock and disbelief, their faces etched with fear and concern. The painting's rich colors and meticulous details transport viewers back to ancient Egypt, immersing them in the history and culture of the time. The landscape is adorned with grand buildings and structures, adding to the grandeur and majesty of the scene. This devotional work of art, with its intriguing narrative and stunning visuals, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the religious and artistic heritage of the Netherlands and Europe during the seventeenth century.
