EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?", transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and profound message. The image depicts a powerful scene from the Gospel of Matthew, where a servant is confronted by his master after showing no mercy towards a fellow servant who owed him money. The artist skillfully captures the emotions of both characters in this moral tale. The master's face reflects disappointment and disbelief at the lack of compassion displayed by his servant. Meanwhile, the guilt-ridden servant hangs his head low, realizing the error of his ways. Through this visual interpretation, we are reminded of the importance of empathy and kindness towards others. It serves as a timeless lesson that resonates with people across generations and cultures. This biblical story teaches us that just as we expect forgiveness and understanding from others when we make mistakes or find ourselves in need, it is our duty to extend that same grace to those around us. The attention to detail in this engraving adds depth to the narrative; every line etched into paper tells a story within itself. As viewers engage with this artwork, they are invited to reflect upon their own actions and consider how they can embody compassion in their daily lives. Overall, this print offers an insightful glimpse into an age-old parable while reminding us all about the power of empathy and forgiveness - lessons that remain relevant today.
