1852 Apostle Boiling Capuz Christianism Cristiano Evangelist Martyrdom Miracle Patmos Salvation Uninjured Unscathed
EDITORS COMMENTS
John the Evangelist, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, is depicted in this beautifully colored engraving by Capuz Ano Cristiano in 1852. Traditionally identified as the author of the Gospel of John, John is also known as John of Patmos, John the Apostle, and the Beloved Disciple. This image captures a scene from the apocryphal account of John's martyrdom during the reign of Emperor Domiciano in the 1st century AD. According to legend, John was cast into a boiling cauldron of oil, but miraculously remained unhurt and uninjured. The scene illustrates the moment when John emerges from the cauldron, unscathed, demonstrating his deep connection to God and his role as a witness to the salvation brought by Jesus. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of a key figure in the development of Christianity and Christianism. John's writings have had a profound impact on the religious beliefs and practices of millions of people throughout history, shaping the way we understand the life, teachings, and ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. This engraving, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, serves as a testament to the enduring power of religious art to inspire and captivate the human imagination. It invites us to reflect on the miraculous nature of faith and the profound impact it can have on our lives.
