The Conversion of England
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in history, as depicted in an ecclesiastical play held at the Church House in Westminster. This lithograph, created by Samuel Begg and part of a private collection, showcases the grandeur and significance of this theatrical event. In this scene, we witness missionaries gathering at the Church House to declare their mission: to convert heathen England into followers of God. The tableau depicts a powerful image of guilt and conviction as they confront King Sebba and his subjects with their message of religious transformation. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate costumes worn by both missionaries and royalty to the majestic architecture surrounding them, each element contributes to the overall atmosphere of solemnity and purpose. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on January 22nd, 1898. It serves as a testament not only to Begg's artistic talent but also to the historical importance placed on religion during that era. "The Conversion of England" invites viewers into a world where faith meets theater, where missionaries strive for spiritual conquest amidst an audience hungry for salvation. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that art has always played a significant role in documenting our cultural heritage and shaping our understanding of past events.
