EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a significant moment in history as the Roman Centurion Cornelius takes charge. The scene depicts him giving orders to his loyal servants, instructing them to embark on a journey to Joppa. Their mission? To seek out the apostle Peter and invite him to visit Cornelius in Caeserea. Engraved by James Ward in 1800, this brown and white engraving beautifully captures Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn's original artwork. Measuring at an impressive 57.9x64.9 cm, it is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art thanks to the generous contribution of Paul Mellon Fund from the USA. This particular event holds great significance within Christian history as it marks a turning point for the Church. Cornelius was not only a Roman soldier but also became known as the first Gentile to be baptized into Christianity. The image showcases Cornelius adorned in his military attire with a turban atop his head, exuding authority and power. As he issues commands with determination etched across his face, one can't help but feel captivated by this pivotal moment frozen in time. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, let your imagination transport you back centuries ago when faith and destiny intertwined through encounters like these – forever shaping our world today.
