And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus casts out demons. Created by renowned artist Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in the 19th century, this illustration brings to life the biblical scene with intricate detail and emotion. In this particular passage, Jesus encounters a group of possessed individuals who cry out to him as the Son of God. They fear that he has come to torment them before their appointed time. In response, Jesus allows the demons to enter a herd of swine nearby. Astonishingly, as soon as they possess the animals, they rush down a steep slope into the sea and perish. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's skillful engraving beautifully depicts this dramatic event. The intensity on Jesus' face reflects his divine authority over evil forces while also conveying compassion for those afflicted. The composition cleverly juxtaposes Jesus against a distant herd of swine grazing peacefully before their sudden chaos. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of Jesus' power but also his mercy towards those tormented by darkness. It serves as an invitation for us all to seek liberation from our own personal demons through faith in Christ's redemptive love. This timeless piece continues to inspire viewers with its rich symbolism and profound spiritual message—a testament to both Schnorr von Carolsfeld's artistic talent and the enduring relevance of biblical narratives in our lives today.
