The pictures

Scripture, as it has been seen

Every picture here is anchored to a passage this library contains, and is shown nowhere else. Each is in the public domain by its holding institution's own account, which is quoted on its record. Nothing has been generated: these are photographs of objects, credited to the collections that hold them.

The Binding of IsaacGenesis 22:1-19

The Akedah. Nineteen verses that painters have returned to for six hundred years, almost always at the same instant — the knife raised, the angel arriving — which is the tenth verse and not the first. Where the picture stops is itself an argument about the passage.
