拍品专文

Jael is a heroine of the Old Testament, who helped the Israelites in the war against King Jabin. The commander of Jabin's army, the ruthless Sisera, was defeated in combat but managed to escape. He found refuge in the tent of Jael, who gave him food and comfort but when he fell asleep killed him by driving a tent peg into his skull (Book of Judges 4-5). This is moment is depicted by Altdorfer in the present, exquisite little woodcut. The setting however is not Canaan, but an open yard outside a German castle.
