EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Paul and the Viper" we are transported back to biblical times, witnessing a powerful moment of faith and divine intervention. Painted by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The scene depicts St. Paul, one of the most influential figures in early Christianity, encountering a venomous snake known as a viper. As described in the Bible, Paul was shipwrecked on the island of Malta and while gathering firewood for warmth, he unknowingly disturbed this deadly creature. With great suspense captured in every brushstroke, we see Paul fearlessly facing his slithering adversary. The intensity builds as flames flicker nearby, adding an element of danger to an already precarious situation. This dramatic encounter symbolizes not only Paul's unwavering faith but also serves as a reminder that God's protection extends even to the most perilous circumstances. The intricate details of the serpent's scales and its menacing gaze showcase both the artistic skill involved in creating this engraving and our fascination with wildlife throughout history. Through this visual narrative from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of humanity's enduring connection with nature and our constant quest for spiritual enlightenment found within ancient texts like the Bible.
