EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pharisee and the Publican" an engraving by Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. The artwork is part of a private collection, offering a glimpse into the artist's interpretation of this biblical story. "The Pharisee and the Publican" is an illustration from "The Bible in Pictures or Scripture History illustrated in a series of one hundred and eighty engravings". Created around 1880, it exemplifies Schnorr von Carolsfeld's talent for capturing powerful moments through his art. In this scene, we witness the stark contrast between two individuals: the self-righteous Pharisee and the humble publican. The image beautifully conveys their differing attitudes towards prayer and righteousness. While the Pharisee stands tall with pride, boasting about his virtuous deeds, the publican kneels before God with humility, acknowledging his own flaws. Schnorr von Carolsfeld skillfully captures not only their physical appearances but also their inner emotions through intricate details and expressive faces. This engraving serves as a visual reminder to viewers about genuine piety versus false righteousness. With its rich historical context and artistic brilliance, this print invites us to reflect on our own attitudes towards spirituality and reminds us that true humility lies at the heart of sincere devotion.
