The Enemy Sowing Tares Among the Wheat - A Baroque Era Engraving Depicting a Biblical Parable
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by Adriaen Collaert in the 16th century, transports us to a serene farmland landscape. The scene portrays an age-old biblical parable from the Gospel of Matthew, where an adversary sows weeds among wheat crops while people sleep. The intricate engraving showcases Collaert's exceptional talent for detail and composition. The delicate lines etched on cream laid paper bring life to this religious narrative. In the foreground, we see men and women slumbering peacefully amidst lush fields, unaware of the enemy's sinister act unfolding before them. The artist skillfully captures both natural beauty and spiritual symbolism in this work. The fertile land represents human souls ready to receive divine teachings, while the menacing figure scattering weed seeds embodies evil forces infiltrating our lives when we least expect it. Collaert's decorative border frames this thought-provoking image with elegance and precision. Its intricate design adds depth to the overall composition, emphasizing that even within such tranquility lies hidden danger. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, let us reflect on its profound message. It serves as a reminder that amidst life's peaceful moments lie adversaries seeking to disrupt our spiritual growth—a cautionary tale relevant across centuries and cultures alike.
