EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector" takes us back to 17th century Europe. The artwork, part of an unidentified series of Bible prints, depicts a scene from Luke 18 in which Jesus tells a parable about two men praying at the temple. The print showcases intricate details and skillful craftsmanship by an unknown engraver. It is believed to have been published by Pierre Mariette in Paris during this period. The composition captures the essence of the biblical story with its rich symbolism and religious undertones. In the foreground, we see a proud Pharisee standing tall with his hands raised in prayer. His self-righteousness is evident as he thanks God for not being like other sinful people. In contrast, a humble tax collector kneels nearby, head bowed low in repentance and humility. The image explores themes such as faith, forgiveness, and judgment while highlighting societal issues like taxation and money-changers prevalent during that time. It serves as a reminder for viewers to reflect on their own attitudes towards others and their relationship with God. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history through their Fine Art Finder collection. This print offers us a glimpse into both religious practices and artistic techniques that were prominent during the seventeenth century – truly an invaluable addition to any art enthusiast's collection or anyone seeking spiritual inspiration through visual storytelling.
