EDITORS COMMENTS
The Parables (engraving) captures the essence of John Everett Millais' artistic genius, as he brings to life the profound teachings of Jesus Christ through his intricate engravings. This particular print focuses on two powerful parables from the Gospel of Matthew - the Mustard Seed and the Yeast. In this mesmerizing artwork, Millais skillfully depicts a vast field with an agricultural vehicle in motion, symbolizing the importance of sowing good seeds in our lives. The scene portrays a moral lesson about growth and transformation, reminding us that even small beginnings can yield extraordinary results. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he meticulously illustrates not only the lush crops but also weeds being sown by an enemy amidst them. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that evil exists alongside goodness and highlights humanity's constant struggle between right and wrong. As we delve deeper into this engraving, we are reminded of Jesus' parable of the sower and its significance in understanding spiritual truths. The image beautifully encapsulates how faith can flourish when nurtured with love and perseverance while cautioning against allowing negative influences to hinder our progress. Millais' masterpiece invites contemplation on themes such as personal growth, resilience, and discernment. It serves as a timeless reminder that within each one of us lies immense potential waiting to be unlocked – just like a tiny mustard seed or yeast transforming into something magnificent.
