EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sermon by a priest at an altar and Paul of Samosata preaching to the early Christian community" takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in history. The image, created by renowned artists Jan Luyken, Barent Visscher, and Jacobus van Hardenberg in 1700, transports us into the interior of an ancient church. The scene unfolds with a priest standing at the altar delivering a powerful sermon to a diverse congregation comprising Armenians, Copts, Syrians, and other early Christians. Their attentive faces reflect their deep devotion as they gather together for worship. Intriguingly, amidst this harmonious setting emerges Paul of Samosata on the pulpit.

From the intricately designed altar adorned with religious symbols to the ornate architecture that surrounds it all - each element contributes to creating an atmosphere of reverence and spirituality. Quint Lox's insightful commentary on this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection invites viewers into a world where faith is celebrated through communal gatherings and intellectual discourse. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, churches have been spaces not only for prayer but also for dialogue and growth within diverse communities united under
