EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the biblical story of "Mary and the alabaster box". Published in The Bible Picture Book by Thomas Nelson around 1950, this color lithograph by William Henry Margetson showcases his artistic talent. In the image, we see Mary, a central figure in Christian history, holding an exquisite alabaster box. Her expression is one of reverence and devotion as she stands amidst a group of disciples in Jerusalem during a feast. The costumes worn by each character transport us back to ancient times, immersing us in the rich history depicted within this artwork. The setting appears to be inside the temple, with its grand architecture serving as a backdrop for this significant moment. As described in Matthew's Gospel (26:6-13), Mary pours expensive ointment from her alabaster box onto Jesus' feet as an act of love and worship. This powerful portrayal not only highlights Mary's profound faith but also reminds viewers of the transformative power that can come from acts of selfless devotion. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on our own spiritual journeys and consider how we can emulate Mary's unwavering commitment to her beliefs. As part of The Bible Picture Book collection, this print serves as both an educational tool and an aesthetic masterpiece that beautifully illustrates key moments from religious texts like no other medium can achieve.
