EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Christ sending forth the apostles" takes us back to biblical times, capturing a profound moment of faith and guidance. This exquisite engraving is part of Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible, a treasured 19th-century publication adorned with over nine hundred meticulously crafted engravings. In this particular scene from the New Testament, we witness Jesus Christ bestowing his divine mission upon his chosen disciples. As described in Matthew X:16, he imparts these powerful words: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves". The image beautifully portrays the juxtaposition between vulnerability and strength that these apostles must embody as they venture out into an often hostile world. The artist skillfully captures the expressions on their faces – a mix of determination, apprehension, and unwavering devotion. Their eyes are fixed upon their master's teachings while their hands clasp tightly onto scrolls representing sacred knowledge. Each disciple represents different walks of life united by their shared purpose to spread Christ's message. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of an important biblical event but also invites contemplation on timeless themes such as faith, courage, and resilience. It reminds us that even amidst adversity or uncertainty, wisdom can guide our actions while innocence preserves our purity of heart. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back centuries ago to witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. Its intricate details and profound symbolism make it an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone seeking inspiration through religious imagery.
