EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print captures a pivotal moment in John Bunyan's timeless allegorical tale, "Pilgrim's Progress." The illustration by Henry Courtney Selous depicts Christian, the courageous pilgrim of the title, locked in fierce combat with Apollyon, the fearsome Destroyer and Angel of the Bottomless Pit.
As Christian stands tall and resolute, his sword raised to defend against evil forces, we are reminded of the eternal struggle between good and evil. The clash between these two powerful figures symbolizes the inner conflicts we all face on our spiritual journeys - battling temptation, doubt, and adversity along the path to salvation.
Selous' intricate attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush - from Christian's suit of armor gleaming in the sunlight to Apollyon's menacing presence looming overhead. The intensity of their confrontation is palpable as they confront each other with unwavering determination.
This 19th-century masterpiece serves as a visual representation of Bunyan's enduring message about faith, perseverance, and redemption. It invites us to reflect on our own struggles and triumphs as we navigate life's challenges with courage and conviction.
With its rich symbolism and dynamic composition, this chromolithograph print is not just a work of art but a profound meditation on the human experience - a timeless reminder that even in our darkest moments, hope shines brightest.
