EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable painting by Michel Corneille, depicting the powerful moment when Saint Paul and Saint Barnaba refuse divine honors in Lystra. Set in the ancient town of Lycaonia, within the Roman Empire's colony in Anatolia, this scene captures an important event in Christian history. Joseph, also known as Barnabas or Barnaba, was a revered saint and apostle of the Church who played a significant role in spreading Christianity. He introduced Paul of Tarsus (Saint Paul) to the Christians of Antioch and became his trusted companion during their travels from 45 to 49 AD. In this painting, we witness the profound devotion and unwavering faith of these two saints as they reject being worshipped as gods by the people of Lystra. Their refusal demonstrates their commitment to upholding monotheism and emphasizing that only God deserves such reverence. Michel Corneille skillfully captures this pivotal moment with his masterful use of oil on canvas. The intricate details bring life to each figure while conveying their resolute determination against false worship. Displayed at Musee des Beaux Arts de Arras in France, this artwork serves as a testament to both religious history and artistic brilliance. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and nuance present within this timeless masterpiece.
