EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""Behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison", St Peter, Acts XII, 7" transports us to a moment of divine intervention. The image showcases an exquisite colour lithograph created by an English School artist from the 20th century. The scene depicted is inspired by a biblical story found in Acts XII, where Saint Peter finds himself imprisoned. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, an angel appears before him with radiant light illuminating the dark prison cell. This powerful visual representation captures the awe-inspiring moment when divine intervention breaks through human limitations. The artist's skillful use of color and composition draws our attention to St Peter's astonished expression as he witnesses this miraculous event unfold before his eyes. The contrast between darkness and light symbolizes hope triumphing over despair and serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of divine guidance. This particular artwork was originally created for "The Nursery Book of Bible Stories" by Amy Steadman around 1920. Its inclusion in this private collection speaks to its timeless appeal and enduring significance within religious art. Through this remarkable piece, we are invited to reflect on themes such as faith, redemption, and the power of spiritual illumination that transcends physical barriers. It serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes all it takes is one flicker of light to dispel darkness and bring forth new possibilities.
