Ananias and Sapphira (colour litho)
3116833 Ananias and Sapphira (colour litho) by Jenny, Heinrich (1824-91) (after); (add.info.: Acts 5:1-5
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Die Heilige Schrift des Alten und Neuen Testaments. Aus der Vulgata Aobersetzt von Dr. Joseph Franz von Allioli. Verlag der Goldenen Klassiker Bibel, Max Herzig, 1894.
Acts 5:1-5 Ein Mann aber, mit Namen Ananias samt seinem Weibe Saphira verkaufte sein Gut und entwandte etwas vom Gelde mit Wissen seines Weibes und brachte einen Teil und legte ihn zu der Apostel FAosen. Petrus aber sprach: Ananias, warum hat der Satan dein Herz erfAollt, das du dem heiligen Geist lAogest und entwendetest etwas vom Gelde des Ackers? HAattest du ihn doch wohl mAogen behalten, da du ihn hattest. Und da er verkauft war, war es auch in deiner Gewalt. Warum hast du denn solches in deinem Herzen vorgenommen? Du hast nicht Menschen, sondern Gott gelogen. Da Ananias aber diese Worte hAorte, fiel er nieder und gab den Geist auf. Und es kam eine grose Furcht Aober alle, die dies hAorten.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Heinrich Jenny's color lithograph of "Ananias and Sapphira" a biblical scene from the Book of Acts. The artwork depicts the dramatic moment when Ananias, accompanied by his wife Sapphira, presents a portion of the proceeds from selling their possession to the apostles. However, Peter confronts Ananias about his deceitful act of keeping back part of the price while pretending to offer it all. The artist skillfully captures this intense exchange between Peter and Ananias, emphasizing their facial expressions and body language. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to the characters and enhance the emotional impact of the scene. Through this powerful image, viewers are reminded of the consequences that follow dishonesty and betrayal. As soon as Ananias hears Peter's words condemning his actions, he falls down dead, struck by divine judgment. This shocking event instills great fear among those who witness it. Jenny's lithograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also invites contemplation on themes such as faithfulness, honesty, and accountability within religious contexts. It is a testament to how art can convey moral lessons through visual storytelling. This particular print comes from Fine Art Finder's collection and is part of ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's portfolio. Its inclusion in Bridgeman Images allows for wider access to appreciate Jenny's work beyond its original Swiss publication date in 1894
