EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Five Foolish Virgins" depicts an illustration from the renowned book, The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, published in 1864. Created by the talented artist John Everett Millais, this engraving showcases a powerful biblical story. In the image, we witness five foolish virgins who find themselves locked out by the bridegroom. Their faces filled with despair and longing, they stand before a closed door illuminated only by their flickering oil lamps. These negligent women are depicted begging and pleading for entry as they realize their grave mistake. Millais skillfully captures Victorian morality through this allusion to Matthew 24 in the Bible. The stormy atmosphere adds to the sense of urgency and impending doom faced by these unfortunate figures. Each detail is meticulously crafted to convey their dispairing state - pining for redemption that has now slipped away. This artwork serves as a reminder of our own responsibilities and preparedness for life's challenges. It urges us not to be complacent or negligent but rather vigilant in our actions and choices. "The Five Foolish Virgins" is a timeless piece that continues to resonate with audiences today due to its profound message about second chances and missed opportunities. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Millais' exceptional talent while contemplating the moral lessons embedded within this poignant scene from biblical lore.
