EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Christ Summoning Peter and Andrew, 1776" takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing a scene inspired by Matthew 4:18 in the New Testament. Created by Richard Earlom after Claude Lorrain, this black and white etching beautifully captures the essence of the Baroque era. In this masterpiece, we witness Christ Jesus calling upon Peter and Andrew, two fishermen who would later become his disciples. The image portrays a coastal setting on Lake Galilee in Hazafon Mehoz Israel. A fishing boat can be seen in the background as these men are summoned to embark on their spiritual journey. Richard Earlom's attention to detail is evident through his precise etching technique that brings life to each character depicted. The composition highlights not only the religious significance but also showcases elements of geography and astronomy. This print holds immense historical value as it represents British heritage art from the 18th century. It was commissioned by Alderman John Boydell, an influential figure during that time period. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artwork, we are transported back in time - witnessing a pivotal moment when ordinary fishermen were called upon to play extraordinary roles in spreading Christianity. This print serves as a reminder of faith's power to transform lives and inspire generations throughout history.
