EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pieter Pietersz Lastman's masterpiece, "Le bapteme de l eunuque" (The baptism of the Eunuch). The painting depicts a significant episode from the life of Philip the Deacon, where he encounters an Ethiopian eunuch who serves as the treasurer to the Queen of Ethiopia. As they meet near Gaza, Philip converts him to Christianity, marking the beginning of the Ethiopian Church. Lastman's oil on wood composition measures 63.5x98.8 and is currently housed in Fondation Custodia in Paris, France. This stunning artwork captures elements of both baroque and Flemish art styles prevalent during the 17th century. The scene portrays a momentous ritual: baptism. The eunuch stands before Philip with an expression filled with awe and reverence as he undergoes this transformative act that symbolizes his conversion to Christianity. The lush landscape surrounding them adds depth and serenity to this spiritual encounter. Through this painting, Lastman beautifully conveys themes such as religion, conversion, and cultural exchange between Africa and Europe during that era. It serves as a testament to how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and religions. This print by Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of Lastman's work while immersing themselves in its historical significance.
