EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Anthony Preaching to the Fishes" takes us back in time to witness a remarkable moment of history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases St Anthony delivering his sermon not to humans but to a mesmerized audience of aquatic creatures. The scene is filled with awe-inspiring details as St Anthony stands on the shore, surrounded by fish eagerly listening to his words. With arms outstretched and eyes filled with compassion, he captivates these underwater beings with his divine message. The historical significance of this event is beautifully captured through intricate lines and delicate shading. This engraving originates from The Book of Days, published around 1870 by W. R. Chambers. It serves as an illustration that brings alive the extraordinary tale of St Anthony's connection with nature and animals. Through digital cleaning techniques, this image has been restored for our viewing pleasure. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power of faith and its ability to transcend boundaries between species. St Anthony's interaction with these fishes symbolizes harmony between man and nature—an eternal reminder that all living beings share a common thread in the tapestry of life. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece from their Fine Art Finder collection—a visual treasure that invites us into a world where saints communicate effortlessly with wildlife, leaving an indelible mark on both human history and our collective imagination.
