EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Christ calls St Peter and St Andrew to follow him" transports us back to biblical times. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the lives of two revered saints. In this scene, we witness Christ extending his divine invitation to St Peter and St Andrew. The composition is filled with emotion as both disciples stand before Jesus, their faces reflecting a mix of awe and anticipation. Their humble postures convey their readiness to embark on a life-changing journey. The intricate details of this engraving bring the story to life. From the delicate lines that define each figure's features to the carefully etched expressions on their faces, every element adds depth and meaning. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow further enhances the dramatic impact of this powerful encounter. Originally created as an illustration for Scripture Picture-Book (SPCK) around 1890, this print continues to inspire viewers today with its timeless message. It serves as a reminder that faith can lead us towards new beginnings and transformative experiences. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on our own journeys of faith and consider how we respond when called upon by something greater than ourselves.
