EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Make not my Fathers house an house of merchandise, mid 19th century" captures a dramatic biblical scene from John 2:16. In this powerful image, Christ is seen expelling the moneychangers from the Temple, as described in the Bible. The engraving is based on a painting by Jean Jouvenet dating back to 1706. The black and white composition adds to the intensity of the moment, highlighting both Christ's anger and determination. Surrounded by various animals such as birds and cattle, symbolizing commercialism and greed, Jesus stands tall amidst chaos. His strong presence conveys his unwavering faith and belief in upholding the sanctity of his Father's house. This thought-provoking artwork reflects on themes of faith, religion, and commercialism prevalent during that era. It serves as a reminder to prioritize spiritual matters over materialistic pursuits. William Henry Mote skillfully captures this historical event through his lens, preserving it for future generations to contemplate upon. This photograph invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs while contemplating how they can ensure that their own lives are not consumed by worldly desires.
