It was an ambitious work (so ambitious that the artist never managed to fully complete it to his liking) which attempted to pour all of the pathos of the Biblical tale into one tragic moment. Unlike many other depictions of the story, Degas drew Jephthah at the very instant when he realizes the coming calamity \u2013 that it was his daughter who was the first to come first out of his house, and thus it is she who must be offered in sacrifice. Across the frame, we see Jephthah\u2019s daughter, who strangely enough already seems aware that her fate is sealed. Even more unusually, she is surrounded by a group of girls who are already mourning with her \u2013 \u201cthe maidens of Israel to go every year, for four days in the year, and chant dirges for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite (Judges 11:40).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not clear why Degas collapsed the tragedy of this story into a single frame. But to this viewer, the painting perfectly captures the sense of foreboding in this chapter. From the minute that Jephthah takes his irresponsible, unrestricted oath, that \u201cwhatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me on my safe return from the Ammonites shall be the LORD\u2019s and shall be offered by me as a burnt offering\u201d Judges 11:31),\u201d we sense that this story will end catastrophically.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image: Edgar Degas, The Daughter of Jephthah, 1859 \u2013 1860 \/ wikiart<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":55730,"id":55730,"title":"Workflow: Sinar HR 43 digital camera back (single and 4 shot modes) connected to a Horseman Digiflex SLR camera using Nikon lenses.
