EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "Jesus and the sinking Peter" takes us back to a significant moment in biblical history. Created by the talented German painter Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld in 1860, this engraved image beautifully captures the essence of faith and fear. The scene depicted is from Matthew 14 in the New Testament, where Jesus walks on water towards his terrified disciples who are struggling aboard a nautical vessel on Lake Tiberius. Among them is St. Peter, whose unwavering devotion led him to step out onto the tumultuous sea at Jesus' command. However, as doubt creeps into his heart, he begins to sink beneath the waves. Schnorr von Carolsfeld's masterful technique brings this miraculous event to life through intricate details etched into wood. The horizontal composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this dramatic moment as they witness both awe-inspiring faith and paralyzing fear. This powerful portrayal serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle between belief and doubt. It encapsulates one of Christianity's core teachings - that even when faced with overwhelming challenges or uncertainties, placing trust in God can lead us through troubled waters. As we gaze upon this historic print, let it inspire us to confront our own fears with unwavering faith while following Christ's example of love and compassion for all people.
