EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from Harold Copping Pictures, specifically "The Pharisee and the Publican". Created in the 1920s as part of The Crown Series, this color lithograph beautifully captures a significant moment from biblical history. In this scene, we witness two contrasting figures: the proud Pharisee and the humble publican. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their roles and status within society, these characters come to life through Copping's artistic vision. The attention to detail is remarkable, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this ancient setting. The composition draws our eyes towards the temple backdrop, emphasizing its importance as a place of worship for both individuals. While the Pharisee stands tall with an air of self-righteousness, his gaze directed upwards towards heaven, it is the publican who truly captures our sympathy. With bowed head and clasped hands, he humbly seeks forgiveness before God. This powerful image reminds us of timeless lessons found within religious texts such as St Luke's Gospel. It prompts contemplation on themes like pride versus humility and judgment versus compassion. As we admire this print from Harold Copping Pictures' collection published by Lutterworth Press nearly a century ago, we are reminded that art has always been a medium for exploring faith and spirituality across generations. This particular piece continues to resonate today as it invites viewers to reflect on their own attitudes towards others and their relationship with a higher power.
