1688 Acts Apostles Baptise Baptises Baptising Baptism Biblical Conversion Eunuch Kneeling Philip Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th-century print depicts St. Philip, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, performing the momentous act of baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch as recorded in the New Testament book of Acts (8:26-40). The eunuch, a powerful and influential figure in the court of the Ethiopian queen Candace, is seen kneeling obediently in the water, with St. Philip holding him by the head as he immerses him in the baptismal font. The scene is filled with a sense of reverence and awe, as the eunuch's conversion to Christianity marks a significant milestone in the early spread of the faith. The richly detailed composition, with its intricate folds and textures, showcases the masterful skill of the engraver, who brings the biblical narrative to life in a visually captivating way. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring influence of the apostles in spreading the message of salvation.
