EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful moment of "Christ and the Woman of Canaan" as depicted by Philip Galle in the late 16th century. The scene portrays one of Jesus' miracles, specifically the exorcism or healing of a Canaanite woman's daughter, as described in the Gospels. In this engraving, Christ is shown gesturing with his hand while kneeling before a faithful woman who pleads for her child's well-being. The Latin inscription beneath reads: "Vt Canis Ad Mensam Micis Satiatvr Hirilem, Sic Cananea Fide Natorvm in Parte Locatvr" which translates to "Just as crumbs satisfy a dog at its master's table, so faith places Canaanite children on equal footing". This statement emphasizes both the power of faith and Jesus' compassion towards all people regardless of their background. Philip Galle skillfully captures this biblical narrative through monochrome imagery, focusing on the interaction between Christ and the distressed mother. The composition highlights their full-length figures against a simple backdrop, drawing attention to their expressions and gestures that convey deep emotion and belief. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Galle's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of the enduring message behind this miraculous event – that faith has no boundaries when it comes to receiving divine healing and grace.
