EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PRESBYTERIANISM, 1891. The Ordination of the Elders in a Scottish Kirk" takes us back to a significant moment in Scottish history. Painted by John Henry Lorimer in 1891, this oil on canvas piece beautifully captures the essence of Presbyterianism during the late 19th century. The scene depicts a solemn gathering within a Scottish kirk, where elders are being ordained. The men, dressed in traditional attire, exude an air of reverence and importance as they participate in this religious ceremony. The painting showcases the meticulous attention to detail that Lorimer is known for; every brushstroke brings life to each figure and adds depth to their expressions. Presbyterianism holds deep roots within Scotland's religious landscape, and this artwork serves as a testament to its significance at the turn of the century. It symbolizes not only faith but also legal authority through its portrayal of the kirk session - an administrative body responsible for overseeing church affairs. As we admire this fine art piece today, we are transported back in time to witness this pivotal event unfold before our eyes. Through Lorimer's masterful technique and composition, we gain insight into both the spiritual and societal aspects surrounding Presbyterianism during that era. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its historical value as it encapsulates Scotland's rich heritage and Christian traditions.
