EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the momentous event of St Peter baptising the centurion Cornelius in the name of Jesus Christ. The scene, captured by an unidentified 17th-century European artist, showcases a pivotal moment from Acts 10 in the Bible. In this powerful image, St Peter stands tall and resolute as he administers the sacrament of baptism to Cornelius. The centurion kneels before him with humility and reverence, his face reflecting a mixture of awe and gratitude. The artist skillfully captures their expressions, conveying both the solemnity and significance of this sacred act. The black-and-white composition adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing its timeless nature. Every detail is meticulously etched into existence by an unknown engraver's hand, showcasing their mastery in capturing intricate textures and delicate nuances. This print is part of an enigmatic series of Bible prints that were likely published by Pierre Mariette in Paris during this period. Its inclusion within private collections has preserved its historical value while allowing art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of St Peter's role as one of Christianity's foundational figures but also of the transformative power inherent in acts such as baptism. It serves as a visual testament to faith, conversion, and religious devotion – themes that continue to resonate across time and cultures.
