EDITORS COMMENTS
The Child's Prayer," painted by Sir Richard Redgrave, A.R.A. in 1850, is an impressively devotional picture that showcases the innocence and purity of childhood. This masterpiece is one of Redgrave's four offerings to the Royal Academy Exhibition in London, catalogued as number 493. The biblical verse, "Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast Thou perfected praise. St. Matthew, xxi, v. 16," encapsulates the essence of this heartwarming scene. The image portrays a simple yet profound moment between a mother and her child as they engage in the act of prayer. The child's earnest and unadulterated faith is evident in their focused gaze and gesturing hands, while the mother tenderly guides and instructs her little one in the ways of devotion. The interplay of their expressions and body language conveys the deep emotional bond between them, as well as the timeless tradition of passing down religious teachings from one generation to the next. This engraving, created by T. Williams for the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the essence of this poignant moment in black and white. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the importance of family, faith, and the simple joys of childhood. The Child's Prayer is a testament to the enduring power of art to evoke emotion and inspire reflection, making it a cherished addition to any art collection or gallery.
