EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts the biblical story of Mary anointing the feet of Jesus. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a poignant moment from the Bible Picture Book published by SPCK around 1880. In this scene, we witness Mary Magdalene humbly pouring costly ointment on Jesus' feet and wiping them with her hair. The image beautifully conveys both reverence and devotion as Mary's act of anointing symbolizes her deep love and gratitude towards Jesus Christ. The intricate details in this engraving bring to life the emotions surrounding this significant event. The viewer can almost sense the fragrance of spikenard filling the air, enhancing our understanding of how powerful and meaningful this encounter was for those present. Mary's gesture not only serves as a demonstration of her faith but also foreshadows Jesus' impending crucifixion. This print invites us to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, forgiveness, and redemption that are central to Christian teachings. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable artwork reminds us of the enduring power that religious stories hold over time. Through its skilled craftsmanship and rich symbolism, it continues to inspire contemplation and appreciation for centuries-old narratives like Mary anointing Jesus' feet.
