EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Lepers outside the Gate of Jerusalem" transports us back to biblical times, offering a glimpse into the life and struggles faced by those afflicted with leprosy. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image depicts a group of lepers congregating outside the gates of Jerusalem, their bodies ravaged by this debilitating disease. With haunting expressions on their faces, they stand as outcasts from society, isolated and shunned due to their condition. This scene serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by marginalized individuals throughout history. Originally published as an illustration for "The Child's Life of Christ with Original Illustrations" in 1882, this engraving captures one poignant moment during Jesus Christ's time on Earth. It highlights his compassion and willingness to interact with those suffering from leprosy despite societal taboos surrounding the disease. Through delicate lines and intricate details, this artwork beautifully conveys both the physical toll that leprosy takes on its victims and the emotional weight carried by those living with such afflictions. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also our capacity for empathy and understanding towards others facing adversity. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect upon themes of faith, compassion, and resilience while honoring historical narratives found within biblical texts.
