EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Two Friars of the Order of Saint Anthony" by Jonathan Spilsbury, transports us back to the 18th century. The image showcases two men dressed in traditional friar robes, representing the rich heritage of art and religion during this period. The friars, belonging to the Roman Catholic religious order of Saint Anthony, exude a sense of tranquility and devotion as they stand side by side. Their expressions are serene yet thoughtful, reflecting their deep commitment to their Christian faith. Spilsbury's mezzotint technique adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing our appreciation for every intricate detail. Through his skilled craftsmanship, he captures not only the physical appearance but also the spiritual essence of these two monks. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of Peter Paul Rubens' influence on Spilsbury's work. Rubens was renowned for his baroque style paintings that often depicted religious themes with great emotional intensity. In this print, Spilsbury pays homage to Rubens' legacy while infusing it with his own unique artistic vision. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to both British art history and Catholicism in Britain during the 18th century. It invites us to reflect on our own spirituality and appreciate the enduring power of religious devotion throughout time.
