This stunning engraving captures the dramatic moment of St Paul and the Viper, a powerful biblical scene that symbolizes faith and divine protection. The intricate details in this 19th-century print by the English School bring to life the story of St Paul as he miraculously survives a deadly snake bite unharmed.
The intense expression on St Paul's face conveys his unwavering trust in God, even in the face of danger. The viper coils menacingly at his feet, its fangs bared and ready to strike. Yet, through divine intervention, St Paul remains unscathed, showcasing his status as a chosen apostle protected by higher powers.
The composition is masterfully executed with delicate lines and shading that highlight the tension and drama of the moment. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing St Paul's spiritual strength against earthly threats.
