EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "The Talents" captures a powerful moment from the late 19th century. Created by an unknown artist in 1908, this depiction is based on the Parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25 of the New Testament. The scene portrays the lord of those servants returning after a long time to reckon with them. In this image, we see a male servant standing before his master, presenting him with additional talents he has gained through his hard work and diligence. The man's face reflects both pride and humility as he showcases his achievements. His red attire adds a vibrant touch to an otherwise monochromatic composition. The artwork was inspired by Eugene Burnand's interpretation of this biblical story and was featured in "La Revue De L Art - Ancien et Moderne" volume XXIV in July-December 1908. It exemplifies how art can bring religious narratives to life while also highlighting themes such as finance, occupation, and personal growth. Although the creator remains unknown, their skillful execution shines through every detail of this lithograph print. This piece serves as a testament to both Victorian-era artistic sensibilities and Christian faith during that period. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the timeless message conveyed by Jesus' parables – encouraging us all to make use of our talents wisely for greater good.
