Took me a while to find the origin of the art, so I thought I’d share it. It’s a copy of an 11th Century mural in the Palace of Westminster, in a room full of biblical illustrations, kind of like an earlier Sistine Chapel. It was whitewashed over, restored, damaged by fire, and later the whole thing was demolished. Nice.
The image is of the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar II looting Jerusalem (under the reign of Zedekiah, the “last king of Judah”), circa 586 BCE. Note the guys on the left carrying a chest and candlesticks, and the guys on the right with their hands tied and huddled together.
