EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic biblical scene from the 19th century. The image portrays the tragic moment when Sapphira, convicted by St Peter for lying to the Holy Spirit about money, falls dead at the feet of the apostles. Inspired by Nicolas Poussin's painting "The Death of Sapphira" from 1652, this engraving beautifully depicts the intense emotions surrounding this event. In Acts 5:10 of the New Testament, it is written that Sapphira immediately fell down and yielded up her ghost after being confronted by St Peter. The young men who witnessed her death then carried her forth and buried her beside her husband Ananias. This powerful visual representation showcases both faith and consequence in Christianity. The composition skillfully captures Sapphira's fall with great intensity. Her outstretched hand gestures towards heaven as she surrenders her life to God's judgment. Surrounding figures express shock and awe at witnessing such a profound manifestation of divine justice. W Holl masterfully brings this religious narrative to life through his meticulous engraving technique. Each line etched on paper conveys deep emotion and belief, making it an extraordinary piece of religious art. This print serves as a reminder of the consequences that dishonesty can bring upon oneself in matters of faith. It invites contemplation on themes such as trust, integrity, and accountability within religious contexts while showcasing W Holl's exceptional talent for capturing poignant moments in history through his artistic vision.
