EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Pre-Raphaelite painting titled "Saint Theophilus and the Angel" by Charles Fairfax Murray. Created in 1863, this watercolor and gouache masterpiece measures 67x88 centimeters and is currently held in a private collection. The artwork depicts an enchanting scene from the legend of Saint Dorothea's martyrdom. With meticulous attention to detail, Murray transports viewers back to ancient times, capturing the essence of Roman antiquity. A street scene unfolds before our eyes, where a man and woman stand witness to an extraordinary event. Intriguing symbols abound within this composition: an aureola surrounding Saint Theophilus signifies his divine connection; a biblical fountain represents purity; while flowers and pitchers symbolize life's fragility. Amidst it all stands a magnificent sculpture of a Roman soldier, representing both power and oppression. Murray's exceptional talent shines through as he masterfully portrays light and shadow, lending depth to each element within the painting. This evocative piece captures not only religious devotion but also themes of persecution, belief, and resilience against adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured in photographic form by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported into another world - one that invites contemplation on faith, history, and humanity itself.
