EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the heartwarming moment from the New Testament's Parable of the Prodigal Son, as told in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 15, Verses 11 to 32. The prodigal son, having returned home after years of wandering and squandering his inheritance, is embraced by his loving father. This poignant scene, beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of Pannemarker, is based on the renowned drawing by Gustave Doré. The ancient tale, a part of the Canonical Scriptures, speaks of two sons. The younger son, driven by a desire for freedom and adventure, leaves his father's house, only to find himself lost and destitute. After reaching rock bottom, he returns home, expecting to be met with anger and reproach. Instead, he is met with open arms and a loving embrace from his father. The engraving captures the essence of this powerful parable, with the father's arms outstretched, welcoming his son back home. The son, dressed in tattered clothes and holding a staff, stands humbly before him. The scene unfolds on the stairs of their home, with the father's older son looking on from a distance. The tree in the background symbolizes the renewal and growth that comes from repentance and forgiveness. This stunning work of art, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the enduring power of the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the unconditional love and forgiveness of a father for his son.
