EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Prayer of Habakkuk" a powerful engraving believed to be based on a painting by Caravaggio. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image depicts an intense moment of prayer, capturing the essence of devotion and spirituality. The engraving was originally intended as an illustration for The Illustrated Family Bible with notes by John Kitto, published around 1870. This digitally cleaned version allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and brushstroke that brings this biblical scene to life. Habakkuk, one of the lesser-known prophets from the Old Testament, is shown here deep in contemplation and supplication before God. His fervent prayer reflects his unwavering faith and trust in divine guidance during challenging times. Caravaggio's influence can be seen through the dramatic lighting and realistic depiction of emotions that permeate this piece. Although there are debates about whether Caravaggio himself painted it or if it was created by one of his followers, its attribution adds another layer of intrigue to its historical significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of Caravaggio's mastery but also how art has long served as a medium for expressing religious devotion throughout history.
