EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image from the 1790s depicts a heated moment in the long-standing conflict between religious faith and atheism. In the foreground, a group of atheists, determined to challenge the dominance of Christianity, attempt to pull down a Holy Cross. Their efforts, however, are in vain as a true Christian, bolstered by divine beings, holds the symbol of his faith steady. The Christian's steadfastness is further emphasized by the supportive presence of his wife, who instructs their young child in the ways of the True Faith. The scene is reminiscent of biblical stories of religious persecution and the unwavering commitment of believers to their faith in the face of adversity. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the deep-rooted beliefs and convictions that shaped the religious landscape of the 18th century, and the ongoing struggle between faith and doubt that continues to resonate in our contemporary world.
