EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, as depicted by artist Edward Armitage in 1926. Titled "Christ calling the Apostles James and John" this painting is part of the book "An Outline of Christianity" which explores the birth of Christianity. In this scene, we see Jesus Christ standing on a fishing boat, surrounded by the vast sea. He reaches out to two men, identified as St. James the Less and St. John the Evangelist, who are portrayed as fishermen. The mast of their boat stands tall behind them, symbolizing their occupation. The composition exudes a sense of urgency and importance as Jesus calls upon these apostles to join him on his mission. Their expressions suggest surprise and curiosity while engaging in conversation with Christ. Armitage's attention to detail brings life to this monochrome image, highlighting both historical accuracy and religious significance. This artwork serves not only as an artistic representation but also as a reminder of the early days of Christianity when individuals were recruited to spread its teachings. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness one of Christianity's pivotal moments – an invitation from Jesus himself that would forever change the lives of those chosen apostles.
