EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a biblical scene from Matthew 20:13, known as the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. The engraving is based on a painting created between 1650-1660 by Ferdinand Bol, who was part of Rembrandt's circle. In this parable, Jesus tells the story of workers who are hired at different times throughout the day to work in a vineyard, symbolizing the Kingdom of Heaven. The caption references a specific moment in the parable when one worker questions why he is receiving only one penny for his labor while others who worked less receive the same amount. Jesus responds with compassion and reminds him that they had agreed upon this wage beforehand. The message behind this parable is that God's grace and reward are not dependent on how long someone has been faithful but rather on their willingness to accept His invitation. W Holl beautifully captures this poignant interaction through his intricate engraving technique. The black-and-white image showcases various details such as turbans worn by some characters, adding cultural depth to the scene. This artwork serves as a reminder of equal rights and fair treatment for all workers regardless of their background or time spent serving God. Displayed in museums worldwide, including Frankfurt am Main's Stadel Museum in Germany, this print continues to inspire contemplation about faith, employment ethics, and religious beliefs even centuries after its creation.
