The Calling of James and John
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that beautifully captures the profound moment when Jesus Christ called upon two ordinary fishermen, James and John, to become his disciples. Created by the talented artist Albert Robida in 1873, this print showcases his remarkable skill in bringing biblical narratives to life. In this scene, we witness the transformative power of faith as Jesus stands before James and John on their fishing boat. The expressions on their faces reflect both surprise and awe at being chosen by the Son of God himself. Their humble attire contrasts with the divine radiance emanating from Jesus, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of this encounter. Robida's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. From the intricate waves lapping against the boat to the delicate folds in Jesus' robe, each element adds depth and realism to this sacred moment. The composition draws our eyes towards Jesus' outstretched hand, symbolizing an invitation for all who seek spiritual enlightenment. This print serves as a powerful reminder that faith knows no bounds or social status; it calls upon individuals from all walks of life. Through "The Calling of James and John". Robida invites us to contemplate our own personal journeys towards purpose and meaning – reminding us that even amidst our daily routines, we too can be called upon for a higher calling.
