EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Gustav Jager, titled "Peter's Denial of Christ" depicts a poignant moment from the biblical narrative found in St Luke, chapter XXII, verses 55 and 56. The scene captures the heart-wrenching denial of Jesus by his disciple Peter, as foretold by Jesus himself before his crucifixion. Jager's skillful artistry brings this powerful story to life with intricate detail and emotional depth. The expressions on the faces of both Peter and those surrounding him convey a range of emotions - disbelief, fear, disappointment, and sorrow. Through masterful use of light and shadow, Jager creates a sense of tension that is palpable. The composition draws our attention to Peter at the center of the image as he denies knowing Jesus not once but three times – fulfilling the prophecy made earlier that night. This pivotal moment serves as a reminder of human fallibility and weakness even among those closest to divinity. Originally published in The Art Journal in 1853, this engraving continues to resonate today for its timeless themes: faithfulness versus betrayal; courage versus fear; redemption versus remorse. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own actions when faced with difficult choices or moral dilemmas. Bridgeman Images' reproduction allows us to appreciate Jager's remarkable talent while also immersing ourselves in this significant biblical event that has shaped history for centuries.
