EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Apostle James the Greater" by renowned artists Jan Luyken, Zacharias Chatelain (II), and Jan Goeree in 1698. The image beautifully captures Apostle James, one of Jesus' closest disciples, with his distinct attributes. Clad in a pilgrim's cloak and hat, he holds a book symbolizing his role as an evangelist. The apostle is depicted leaning on a walking stick while carrying a shell-shaped object representing his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. A staff and wallet hang from his belt, signifying his journey as a missionary spreading the teachings of Christ. Intriguingly, Apostle James also holds a scroll and sword alluding to both spiritual wisdom and martyrdom. This juxtaposition highlights the duality of his life - devoted disciple and eventual beheading for proclaiming his faith. The composition is masterfully presented on a pedestal adorned with intricate details that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The picture exudes an aura of reverence as it immortalizes this significant biblical figure. Quint Lox's skillful photography ensures every detail is captured flawlessly, allowing viewers to appreciate the artistry within this historical piece. It serves as not only an artistic masterpiece but also as a reminder of Apostle James' unwavering dedication to spreading Christianity during tumultuous times.
