EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "No One Who Puts His Hand on the Plow and Looks Back is a Follower of Christ, 1549" transports us back to the 16th century. Created by German artist Augustin Hirschvogel, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of agriculture and religious devotion during that era. The image showcases a man diligently plowing his field with two strong oxen leading the way. The intricate details in Hirschvogel's drawing highlight not only his artistic talent but also his deep understanding of rural life. The man's focused expression reflects his unwavering commitment to his work as he follows the teachings of Christ. Through this piece, Hirschvogel reminds us of an important biblical passage from the New Testament: "No one who puts his hand on the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God". This profound message resonates with viewers even today, urging us to remain steadfast in our faith without being distracted by worldly temptations. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this print stands as a testament to both Hirschvogel's artistic legacy and Germany's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a powerful reminder that art has always been intertwined with religion throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world where spirituality meets agricultural labor—a timeless depiction that continues to inspire contemplation and reflection among all who encounter it.
