EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Saints Paul and Barnabas Preaching in Lystra" depicts a significant moment in biblical history. Created by P. Galleus, this print showcases the talent of Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano). The artwork captures the scene where Saints Paul and Barnabas are preaching to a crowd in Lystra. Intriguingly, the image portrays an incident where the local people mistake these apostles for Roman and pagan gods. The composition beautifully conveys the astonishment on their faces as they witness this extraordinary event unfold before them. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous depiction of each character's expressions, emphasizing their awe and wonder. The setting is enhanced by the presence of a grand column that adds depth to the scene while symbolizing strength and stability. Both saints stand confidently amidst their audience, delivering their teachings with utmost conviction. Their halos further emphasize their divine status as messengers of God. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of an important biblical narrative but also highlights Van der Straet's skillful craftsmanship. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon religious devotion, human curiosity, and faith in ancient times. Displayed here courtesy of Fine Art Finder from www. bridgemanart. com, this remarkable piece continues to inspire contemplation about spirituality across generations despite being out of copyright protection today.
