Apostle Christianity Corn Dore Gustave Halo Harvest Jesus New Testament Sabbath Saint
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving by Gustave Doré depicts a powerful biblical scene from the New Testament. Titled "The Disciples Plucking Corn on the Sabbath" it brings to life Mark 2:27, where Jesus and his disciples engage in an act that challenges religious traditions. In this 19th-century artwork, we see Jesus and his apostles surrounded by a bountiful harvest of corn. The men are depicted with halos, symbolizing their divine connection. As they pluck corn on the Sabbath, they defy societal norms and provoke controversy among the religious authorities of their time. Doré's intricate engravings beautifully capture the French artist's attention to detail and mastery of technique. Each stroke adds depth and emotion to this thought-provoking image. Through his artistry, Doré invites us to reflect upon themes such as faith, tradition, and compassion. "The Disciples Plucking Corn on the Sabbath" serves as a reminder that Jesus challenged established rules when they conflicted with acts of kindness or mercy. It encourages viewers to question rigid interpretations of religious laws in favor of embracing love for one another. This print is not only a testament to Gustave Doré's artistic skill but also an invitation for contemplation about our own beliefs and actions within Christianity or any other spiritual path we may follow.
