EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Peter" is a remarkable piece of art that dates back to the 17th century. Created by an English School artist, this print is based on the depiction of St Peter found in Jeremy Taylor's book, "The History of the Life and Death of the Ever-Blessed Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World" published in London in 1678. In this illustration, St Peter is portrayed as a revered figure with a halo above his head symbolizing his sanctity. As one of the apostles mentioned in the Bible's New Testament, St Peter holds great significance within Christianity. The engraving beautifully captures his devoutness and martyrdom. The fine details and intricate lines showcased in this artwork highlight both its historical value and artistic prowess. Its monochromatic aesthetic adds depth to every stroke while evoking a sense of timelessness. This print serves as a visual testament to Christian values and religious devotion during the early 17th century. It stands as a reminder of St Peter's importance within Christian theology and acts as an educational tool for those studying religious texts or exploring historical engravings. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty centuries later.
