EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history - "The Mission of the Apostles" by Charles Gleyre. Taken from the pages of the "Illustrated London News" on October 30,1865, this wood engraving beautifully depicts a scene filled with religious significance. In this nineteenth-century masterpiece, we see a group of male figures representing the apostles gathered around a central figure. The disciples are shown gesturing and engaging in deep conversation, their expressions conveying both determination and devotion. The artist skillfully portrays their commitment to spreading Christianity to all corners of the world. The image is rich in symbolism, with crosses prominently displayed throughout. A crucifixion scene can be seen in the background, reminding viewers of Christ's ultimate sacrifice for humanity. This serves as a poignant reminder of the mission these apostles have undertaken - to carry forward Jesus' teachings and share his message of love and redemption. William Luson Thomas expertly captured this historic moment through his masterful engraving technique. His attention to detail brings each figure to life while maintaining an overall sense of solemnity and reverence. Today, this print resides at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to inspire visitors with its timeless depiction of faith and dedication. It stands as a testament to both Gleyre's artistic prowess and the enduring power that religion holds over people's lives.
