The Receipt of Custom - A Glimpse into Biblical Taxation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in biblical history, depicting "The Receipt of Custom" during the time of Jesus Christ. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into the world of Roman taxation and its impact on society. Intricately engraved, this image showcases a scene from "The Life of Our Lord" published by Frederick Warne around 1880. It portrays Jesus engaging with publicans, tax collectors appointed by the Romans to collect taxes from their fellow citizens. The unpopular nature of these taxes is evident as people gather to witness this encounter. With meticulous attention to detail, Bridgeman Images has digitally cleaned and enhanced this historical gem for modern viewers. The composition highlights the tension between those who owed taxes and the Roman authorities responsible for collecting them. Through this visual narrative, we are reminded of Jesus' teachings on money and taxation found within biblical texts. This thought-provoking print invites contemplation on themes such as justice, fairness, and societal obligations that resonate even today. As you delve into this remarkable piece, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness firsthand how customs were received amidst religious fervor and political unrest.
