EDITORS COMMENTS
The Pearl of Great Price, 1864 (1901) captures a captivating biblical scene in stunning black and white. This print, originally featured in The Magazine of Art by Cassell and Company Limited in 1901, showcases the artistic brilliance of John Everett Millais, a renowned British artist from the 19th century. The image depicts a group of men and women gathered around an enigmatic woman holding a pearl. Inspired by the parable of the pearl from Christianity's sacred text, this artwork beautifully portrays the essence of faith and spirituality. The attention to detail is impeccable as every line and shadow adds depth to each character's expression. Millais' mastery shines through his ability to capture both male and female figures with equal grace. The monochrome palette enhances the timeless quality of this piece while emphasizing its emotional impact. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to Victorian England where religion played a significant role in society. The Pearl of Great Price serves as a reminder that true value lies not only in material possessions but also in spiritual enlightenment. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and consider what truly matters most in life. This remarkable artwork is part of The Print Collector collection curated by Heritage Images. It stands as a testament to Millais' talent as well as his contribution to British art during his time.
