Forces of nature in old bibles

Floods, earthquakes, conflagrations, swarms of locusts - the Bible is full of stories of natural forces that were perceived as God's punishment and judgment. The Flood is a proverbial example of this. These natural disasters have inspired people to imagine them. Impressive woodcuts can already be found in early bible prints. Based on biblical quotations, the cabinet exhibition shows illustrations of natural forces in Bibles from five centuries, from the depiction of the Flood to the disturbing images of the Apocalypse.
