EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Some sullen demon did a wretch invade. . " transports us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and vibrant hues. The artwork, created by an English School artist, is part of a private collection that showcases the power of faith and divine intervention. The scene depicted in this print revolves around a biblical miracle from the book of Matthew. A tormented individual, possessed by a malevolent demon, seeks solace and aid from Jesus Christ himself. With eyes full of compassion and understanding, Jesus gazes upon the afflicted soul before commanding the fiendish entity to depart. In awe-inspiring fashion, the demon obeys without hesitation. Rendered with meticulous precision and enhanced through contemporary hand-colouring techniques, this engraving beautifully captures both the spiritual essence of the story as well as its historical context. It serves as an illustration for "Scripture History for the Improvement of Youth" published by Kelly around 1850. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of ancient tales but also how art has long been used to convey profound religious narratives. This piece invites contemplation on themes such as redemption, mercy, and triumph over darkness. Its timeless message continues to resonate today – reminding us that even in our darkest moments there is hope for deliverance through unwavering faith in something greater than ourselves.
