EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "By night a learned doctor came. . " transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing an exquisite coloured engraving by an English School artist. This artwork, now part of a private collection, beautifully illustrates a biblical scene from John III. Intriguingly, the image depicts a clandestine encounter between Nicodemus and Jesus Christ under the cover of darkness. The learned doctor, known as Nicodemus, sought solace in secrecy to avoid disgrace while approaching the Lord himself. It is through this covert meeting that Nicodemus becomes one of Jesus' disciples. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every stroke seems purposeful and deliberate. The contemporary hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. This print was originally created as an illustration for "Scripture History for the Improvement of Youth" published around 1850 by Kelly. Its inclusion in this educational text suggests that it aimed to inspire young minds with moral teachings found within biblical narratives. Now preserved by Bridgeman Images and made available through Fine Art Finder, this print serves as both a testament to artistic skill and an invitation for viewers to delve into religious history. It reminds us of the power art holds in capturing significant moments from our past while inviting contemplation on timeless themes such as faith and redemption.
