EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Transfiguration," was created by the renowned English artist W Walton in 1829. The image depicts a pivotal moment from the New Testament of the Bible, where Jesus is shown in a radiant glory with three apostles, Peter, James, and John, witnessing the event on Mount Tabor. The scene is rendered in exquisite detail, with each figure exhibiting a sense of awe and reverence. The Transfiguration is an essential work in the history of Christian art, reflecting the deep cultural and spiritual significance of this biblical narrative. The use of lithography, a popular printing technique of the 19th century, allowed for the creation of high-quality, detailed images that could be widely disseminated. This particular print is a lithograph proof before letters, indicating that it is an early and rare example of the artist's work. John Flaxman II, a prominent English artist and engraver, may have played a role in the production of this print, as he was known for his collaborations with other artists and his expertise in the lithographic process. The black-and-white composition, with its bold lines and subtle shading, adds to the sense of drama and otherworldliness in the scene. The Transfiguration is now part of the prestigious collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. This historic and beautiful work of art is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
