EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Edgar Degas, we are transported to a moment of divine guidance and spiritual beauty. The image depicts St John the Baptist, accompanied by an angel walking before him on the right. Rendered in pencil with pen and brown ink on paper, Degas skillfully captures the ethereal essence of this religious scene. The angel, with magnificent wings spread wide, leads the way for St John as they embark on their sacred journey. With his trumpet held high and a new coat draped over his arm, St John exudes a sense of purpose and devotion. His flowing hair adds to the dynamic energy of the composition. As we gaze upon this drawing, we can almost feel ourselves being guided along with them. The delicate lines and intricate details bring forth a sense of reverence and awe towards these heavenly figures. Degas' study showcases his mastery in capturing both human form and spiritual presence. Through this artwork, he invites us to contemplate our own faith and connection to something greater than ourselves. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this piece serves as a testament to Degas' artistic talent while also reminding us of the enduring power that religion holds in our lives.
