EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Saul Hiding among the Stuff, 1866" we are transported back to biblical times as depicted by artist James Smetham. The artwork, measuring 13.5x12.5 cm, showcases Smetham's mastery of watercolor, oil, and gum arabic on paper. The scene captures a pivotal moment from the Old Testament when Saul, the reluctant first king of Israel, finds himself hiding amidst a baggage train. The composition exudes an air of tension and secrecy as Saul tries to conceal himself within the cluttered surroundings. Smetham's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he skillfully brings out the emotions and turmoil experienced by Saul during his time in hiding. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece not only showcases Smetham's technical prowess but also highlights his ability to convey complex narratives through art. This particular print is part of a private collection and holds historical significance due to its portrayal of an important biblical event. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and space while offering insights into ancient stories that continue to resonate with audiences today.
