The Raising of Dorcas, Acts IX, 39 - A Testament to Faith and Compassion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by the French School from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a powerful biblical event. The scene depicts "The Raising of Dorcas" as described in Acts IX, 39. This remarkable illustration is part of the renowned collection "Historic Illustrations of the Bible principally after the Old Masters" by Fisher, published around 1850. The image showcases an important moment that highlights both faith and compassion. Dorcas, a beloved member of her community known for her charitable deeds and kindness towards others, had passed away. However, through divine intervention or perhaps a miracle performed by Saint Peter himself (as mentioned in Acts), she is brought back to life. This engraving beautifully captures the emotions surrounding this extraordinary event. The expressions on people's faces reflect astonishment mixed with overwhelming joy and gratitude. It serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can have profound effects beyond our imagination. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its deeper significance within religious history. It invites us to contemplate themes such as resurrection and divine intervention while appreciating the skillful execution by these old masters.
