EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful biblical scene from the 19th century. The engraving depicts St Paul on trial before Antonius Felix, the governor of Caesarea. In this momentous occasion, Paul, portrayed on the right with his arms raised and in chains, appeals to Felix while gesturing passionately. The image showcases the intense emotions and drama of this historical event. It is based on a painting titled "Paul at Ephesus" created by William Hogarth in 1748. H Robinson skillfully translates Hogarth's masterpiece into an engraved form that brings out every detail. The setting is indoors, possibly within a courtroom or some other official location in ancient Rome. The chained figure of Paul stands as a symbol of his imprisonment for his faith as he defends himself against accusations of madness and insanity. Through this image, we witness not only the strength and conviction of St Paul but also gain insight into the religious beliefs and conflicts during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, one can find solace in speaking forth words of truth and soberness. H Robinson's print beautifully captures this significant moment from Acts 26:25 when St Paul declares to Festus, "I am not mad". This artwork invites us to reflect upon our own convictions and stand firm amidst challenges to our beliefs.
