EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Peter on the housetop at Joppa" transports us back to biblical times and offers a glimpse into an extraordinary moment. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases St Peter, one of Jesus Christ's apostles and disciples. In this scene, we find St Peter seated on a rooftop in Joppa (also known as Jaffa), his figure emanating tranquility and contemplation. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Christian values and religious devotion. As he gazes out into the distance, we can almost feel his connection with God and his unwavering faith. The image is digitally cleaned to enhance its details while preserving its original charm. It was originally intended as an illustration for The Prize Bible published by Wells Gardner, Darton & Co around 1890. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the power of religion and spirituality in our lives. St Peter's presence symbolizes not only his role as a significant Bible character but also represents Christianity itself—a testament to its enduring influence throughout history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect upon our own beliefs and encourages us to seek solace in moments of quiet contemplation just like St Peter atop that ancient house in Joppa.
