EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Pharisee and the Publican, Luke XVIII, 9-14" by the English School in the 19th century showcases a powerful biblical scene. The print depicts two contrasting figures - a proud Pharisee and a humble publican - as described in the Gospel of Luke. In this thought-provoking image, we witness the Pharisee standing tall with an air of self-righteousness, his eyes lifted towards heaven while he boasts about his virtuous deeds. On the other hand, we see the publican kneeling before God with downcast eyes and clasped hands, acknowledging his unworthiness and pleading for mercy. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical appearances but also their inner emotions. The engraving invites us to reflect on themes of pride, humility, judgment, and repentance that are central to this parable. Originally created as an illustration for "The Prize" in 1886, this artwork continues to resonate today. It serves as a reminder that true righteousness is not found in outward displays or empty words but in genuine humility before God. With its intricate details and profound symbolism, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers an opportunity to delve into religious teachings while appreciating the artistic mastery behind it.
